Jenny Holloway To Champion UK Manufacturing at Drapers Supply Chain Summit 2025

On 2nd July 2025, Drapers returns to the Soho Hotel in London for the highly anticipated Drapers Supply Chain Summit — a finely curated, half-day forum and networking event that brings together 50 senior leaders from across the fashion industry’s operational landscape.

Set against a backdrop of shifting consumer expectations, evolving omnichannel strategies, and increasing pressure for transparency, the summit provides an exclusive space for C-level executives and directors across supply chain, logistics, sourcing, and operations to share ideas and tackle common challenges.

A key highlight of this year’s agenda is a fireside chat with Jenny Holloway, founder of Fashion-Enter Ltd and Chair of the Apparel and Textile Manufacturers Federation. Known for her tireless advocacy for ethical and local manufacturing, Holloway will take the stage to discuss “Navigating the Future of Fashion Sourcing and Manufacturing”, offering timely insights into how the sourcing landscape is transforming under the weight of global disruption and consumer demand for responsible practices.

In conversation with Jill Geoghegan, Editor of Drapers, Holloway will explore:

• The strategic resurgence of UK-based manufacturing
• How brands are adapting to geopolitical instability, tariffs, and rising operational costs
• The growing imperative for transparency and traceability in the supply chain
• Why sustainable sourcing is no longer optional, but critical

Her experience at the helm of Fashion-Enter Ltd, a leading UK garment manufacturer, positions her uniquely to comment on the realities and opportunities of re-shoring production, adopting ethical practices, and building resilience into modern supply chains.

The event will culminate in a champagne reception and private networking dinner, providing attendees with the opportunity to forge valuable connections and continue the day’s conversations in a relaxed, informal setting.

With a strong emphasis on collaboration, innovation, and shared values, the Drapers Supply Chain Summit 2025 promises to be a pivotal gathering for fashion’s operational leaders.
