“UKFT is ready, willing and able to lead the development of a 'fashion action plan' and is uniquely well-placed to do so. The talent of British designers is essential for the prosperity of the industry, but their ideas need to be made reality by textile and clothing manufacturers. We look forward to the continued support of the BFC and our other member-associations in developing our vital industry.”
UKFT, BFC and Skillset will be meeting Culture Minister Ed Vaizey to discuss The Value of the UK Fashion Industry on 13 October 2010.
