The high level conference on sustainability
Karen's in-depth knowledge of the industry is evident in the fact that she was also Chairman of the panel of speakers in the exhibition's conference on Sustainability, held on the morning of 2 April. Sponsored by Syscom plc and Lectra, the event provided the delegates with more than a little food for thought.
Presentations from ten top-class high profile industry speakers ranged in content from ethical manufacturing, eco textiles and 'green' clothing all linked in to the general conference title of Sustainability -- across the workwear and corporate clothing supply chain and including everything from manufacturing and procurement to garment end-of-life.
