MANUFACTURER'S ONLINE SHOWROOM

It has long been documented that the true experts of the world of fashion are the manufacturers themselves! Without production units that offer a sampling service, small runs and fast track production, the UK fashion designer of today would find it extremely difficult to get their fashion label off the ground.
The Manufacturers Online Showroom is a new concept in helping you source the right supplier. From the comfort of your own computer you can now review a cross section of UK CMT (Cut, Make and Trim units) and manufacturers that could supply the right production for your collection.

This new Manufacturers Online Showroom is the first of its kind in the UK today. Leading the way the London Manufacturing Advisory Service [LMAS] and Cutting IT, an Equal funded project, are pleased to have funded the development of the Showroom to help improve the productivity and competitiveness of today's garment manufacturing industry.

LMAS, a BERR and LDA funded service supporting manufacturers in London, has over the years helped a huge range of companies become more competitive, whether through improving the efficiency of production processes, helping them to design better products, helping to promote businesses to new and existing markets, or creating high performing individuals and teams within the businesses we help. Our Specialists, who offer hands-on, practical advice to manufacturers, are highly qualified individuals who use their years of experience to quickly identify the ways in which each business can be helped. As LMAS is a publicly funded service, initial contact with us costs manufacturers nothing, and a lot of what we do is either fully funded or heavily subsidized.

David Crowfoot, Operations Director at LMAS comments:
We are delighted to be able to promote the interests of London's fashion industry through the Manufacturers Online Showroom. As an industry which embodies London's can-do, entrepreneurial spirit, LMAS is proud to be supporting fashion manufacturers.

Nigel Rust, LMAS Specialist comments:
In my experience working with fashion manufacturers, I see many determined individuals who are committed to growing their business and providing the best possible service to their clients; with our help they are often able to find ways to improve their productivity and increase their chances of meeting customer requirements.

Cutting IT, brings together a unique collaboration of partners who reflect the driving forces in the UK fashion and textile sector. The project recognises the diversity and exceptional issues facing clothing manufacturing in the UK and focuses on supporting businesses through change, allowing companies to adapt to changing market conditions, breaking down barriers and creating collaborative solutions.
