Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Harringay Fashion Manufacturer in The Guardian
Harringay Warehouse District based Fashion Enter was featured in The Guardian this week as a poster child for rekindling the British garment manufacturing industry.
The 7,500 sq foot Hermitage Road Factory allows for large scale production. There is also a Fashion Studio for grading, sampling and small productions runs.

Looks so much swankier than the old sweat shops that used to be round here.

It's really great to see first hand just how much manufacturing is coming back to Britain, especially when it's all taking place on your doorstep!
With the support of big companies like ASOS and Alvanon it'll be interesting and great to see just how much the training on offer and behind-the-scenes of manufacturing will appeal to the younger generation.

I am a business studies undergraduate at Cirencester and as such I understand the importance of skills and vocational learning in today's ever changing markets.

Having worked for Fashion Enter for 8 years I can honestly say this is the most exciting new development of the companies entire history. We can't wait to get started with the expansion of The Factory and the development of the Fashion Technical Academy into the unit next door! Everyone may be talking about the 'Made in Britain' label but the reality is the current skilled work force in this country are immigrants who are ageing. It is vital to teach the next generation these skills to ensure manufacturing continues to stay here and the only way to do this is to offer training in a real live factory environment. This is exactly what we are doing now and it works! The expansion can only mean an increase in learners ultimately leading to skilled workers and more jobs!

Another great thing that's "Made in Harringay" (For the uninitiated that's Harringay and not Haringey!)

What a brilliant business, we need more manufacturing in the UK employing local people!
