Nick and his clothing brand First Principals, Nick joined the programme in October with a view to growing a financially sustainable business that is embedded within the local community. This means that in addition to designing, manufacturing and selling clothing, the business will be involved in local community projects and collaborations with other local businesses and organisations. He is receiving expert industry advice on his brand and is learning to sew and pattern cut at the Fashion Technology Academy along with receiving tailored one-to-one business mentoring.
Nick commented: “I have been introduced to the Welsh Government, a shepherdess, learnt how to sew and now I am on a pattern making course. N17 Creative Callings is the most comprehensive support initiative I have ever come across and it’s tailor made for me and my business – First Principals. Definitely recommend joining this free program if you live in Haringey.”
