The Factory Uncovered with Arcadia

Assistants Buyers and Buyers Admin Assistants from Arcadia group companies including Wallis joined Jenny Holloway at the Fashion Enter factory for a Factory Uncovered CPPD course which allowed them to gain insight into the running of a production factory in the UK as well as becoming familiar with health and safety within the factory.

CPPD is an on-going and continual process of both personal and professional growth that improves the capability of an individual to realise their full potential. Fashion Enter delivers CPPD training for industry professionals seeking deep rich learning in a live factory environment to ensure full understanding of the complete garment life cycle is achieved.

With the ability to see and meet a range of people within the factory whom all contribute to the production process of a garment, Jenny led the group on a factory tour where they had the ability to ask any questions and see for themselves what each member of the hard working team do.

On their visit to the Fashion Enter factory the group commented;

“Today I have learnt how a factory runs, the logical process and ICPIS, key audit knowledge, how to spot positive and negatives in the environment, how to use an industrial machine and also how patterns are laid.  I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it really useful, engaging and completely relevant to my role.  I would 100% recommend to a colleague.” – Hayley
