Today marks an important milestone for UK garment manufacturing as ATMF and our member factories take part in Source Fashion 2025 at Olympia London (8–10 July).
We would like to thank everyone who has contacted us in the run-up to this event, and we look forward to meeting so many of you at the show.
Although our Chair Jennifer Holloway was unfortunately unable to attend due to a family emergency, we are deeply grateful to our partners at Fashion-Enter Ltd / FashionCapital for supporting our members and helping to represent Leicester’s factories at Source Fashion. Special thanks go to Beth Davy-Day, Divya Kamath and Jo Bean for their hard work and commitment.
This event highlights the depth of skills and expertise across Leicester’s supply chain. ATMF will continue to build on this momentum with a strategic forward plan that professionally showcases the very best of Leicester’s manufacturing talent while also targeting key public procurement opportunities.
We are also pleased to share that sales have already been achieved through our new initiative ThreadChain, enabling more people to support UK factories. New products will continue to launch weekly thanks to our collaboration with Midori Design Studio.
This is just the beginning — with new plans and ground to cover, we look forward to an exciting future for Leicester and UK manufacturing.
We extend our sincere thanks once again to Suzanne Ellingham and the Hyve Group for making this opportunity possible.
