Fashion – Enter Ltd Triumphs at the Franco – British Business Awards 2025

Fashion-Enter Ltd is celebrating a major achievement after being crowned Small Business of the Year at the prestigious Franco-British Business Awards (FBBA), hosted by the French Chamber of Great Britain. The awards ceremony and gala dinner took place on Thursday 27th November 2025 at Church House, Westminster, bringing together leading innovators, entrepreneurs and changemakers from across the UK and France.

Since their inception in 2000, the Franco-British Business Awards have honoured companies that demonstrate exceptional leadership in strengthening commercial and cultural ties between the two nations. The annual event recognises organisations excelling in innovation, community engagement, climate action, philanthropic impact and more.

This year’s edition placed particular emphasis on companies driving positive change through technology, sustainability, and local impact areas where Fashion-Enter has continued to shine. As a social enterprise dedicated to ethical fashion, high-quality UK manufacturing and exceptional training opportunities, Fashion-Enter’s commitment to community and innovation resonated strongly with the judging panel.

Upon receiving the award for Small Business of the Year, Fashion-Enter Ltd CEO Jenny Holloway shared heartfelt words of gratitude:

“Thank you Franco British Chamber of Commerce! A huge high-five to all the amazing Fashion-Enter staff at Haringey, Islington and Leicester! You keep me going!

“Thank you to our learners, stakeholders, outgoing and incoming NED board and our suppliers too! What a wonderful network we have!”

The award underscores the impact of Fashion-Enter’s unique business model combining ethical garment production with training, apprenticeships, and community-led growth. It is a proud moment for the teams across London and Leicester whose hard work ensures the company continues to lead the way in UK fashion manufacturing.

The Franco-British Business Awards celebrate the best of bilateral collaboration, and Fashion-Enter’s work aligns perfectly with their mission. From pioneering digital manufacturing technologies to offering thousands of learners industry-recognised skills, Fashion-Enter demonstrates how small businesses can drive large-scale change.

Winning Small Business of the Year is not only a testament to Fashion-Enter’s achievements but also to the powerful partnerships and people behind the organisation.

Congratulations to the entire FEL community!
