David Lammy MP Backs UK Textile Manufacturing At Fashion-Enter Ltd Factory Visit
London, UK – December 2025 – Fashion-Enter Ltd, a leading ethical garment manufacturer and skills training provider, today welcomed Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy MP to its North London headquarters.
The visit highlighted the critical importance of supporting the UK’s domestic textile and apparel manufacturing sector and advocating for public contracts to be awarded to British factories.
During his visit, Mr. Lammy engaged directly with the heart of UK fashion production.
He toured the factory floor, observing the meticulous process of garment creation and speaking with skilled technicians.
He also met with students in the Fashion Technology Academy, discussing the importance of developing the next generation of industry talent.
The visit showcased the advanced capabilities within the UK, including demonstrations from partners such as Kornit Digital, Style3D, and the United Repair Centre, which are driving innovation in sustainable and digital fashion.
The primary focus of the discussion was the campaign for public procurement contracts—including those for PPE, military uniforms, and other public sector workwear—to be awarded to ethical, UK-based manufacturers.
This initiative aims to bolster the national economy, secure skilled jobs, and ensure high standards of production, while reducing the environmental impact associated with long-distance supply chains.
Mr. Lammy's visit serves as a significant endorsement of Fashion-Enter Ltd's mission to revitalise the UK's manufacturing landscape.
It underscores a growing cross-party recognition of the strategic value of onshore production and the need for government policy to reflect this.
By championing local, skilled, and ethical factories, the UK can rebuild a resilient and world-class manufacturing base.
