Caroline commented: “I know that we have been working on the N17CreativeCallings programme for over two-years now and it really was a pity that Covid interrupted our flow of businesses and participants joining this unique program that offers free qualifications, business support and wrap around mentoring. These seminars are always well received because as one participant said today “you don’t know what you don’t know” so I was delighted to impart our knowledge to support the Tottenham based businesses.
“This was an important seminar today to showcase how future technologies of 3D fittings, ethical printing, individual lab-dipping for in-house use will all make the garment life cycle easier and cheaper to deliver. The rise of the SME and brands with heritage is definitely happening now and this is such an important time for N17CreativeCallings businesses to be prepared for the future.”
