Marks & Spencer Continue CPPD Workshops

On Friday morning a group of Graduate Buyers, Assistant Buyers, Assistant Designers and Buying Admin Assistants joined us here at Fashion Enter for their latest Factory Uncovered CPPD session with Jenny Holloway (CEO), Caroline Ash (Production Manager) and Anna-Maria (Production Assistant) who presented the group with a wealth of information to take away with them.

From discussing how a factory operates to showing them first-hand the many stages that go into the production of a garment including pattern cutting, quality control and choosing the correct components for the garment, nothing was left unclear.

The group were keen to ask questions and paid close attention to all that was said, ensuring they had the ability to learn and take in the knowledge they were presented with.

Upon ending their time here, the group commented:

“I have learnt more about UK manufacturing and the problems within the industry.  I’ve also learnt how to evaluate a garment to lower costs.  It has been a very informative morning.” – Rebecca

“The morning was really informative and engaging.  It is nice to see that Jenny is really trying to develop and support those working at Fashion Enter.” – Hannah

“It was very interesting to have a clear overview of the factory and to learn about the process of production and different roles within the company.” – Sarina

“I’ve learnt this morning what to look for in a good factory, the processes and ways to challenge costs.  I really enjoyed the course, it was so good to walk around the factory and speak to the workers.  Being hands on is the best bit.” – Hannah

“This morning taught me the nitty gritty of behind the scenes in the factory (everything that isn’t spoken about).  Everyone was really friendly and helpful with lots of information.  The team were approachable and inspiring from a ‘do it yourself and be genuine in what you’ attitude.  I’ve loved it.  Thank you!” – Kate
