'Made in Britain' 51 in Drapers Power list

YEY! 

The 'made in Britain' label has made in to 51st place (out of 100) in Drapers power list of 2011. This shows that the public are proud of of our manufacturing and the quality we produce and the growing international luxury market cant get enough of. This only reenforces the fact that we need to train and develop british people in our trades before we lose these skills forever. 

With retails now taking note with a lot of stores launching British labels e.g. Marks & Spencer's & John Lewis hopefully it wont take long to notice a raise in training courses and a update to the current higher education courses teaching not just design but the ability to produce also.
