A supportive community for fashion and textile entrepreneurs

The fashion and textile industry is notoriously exclusive and while running a start-up can be hugely rewarding, it can also be challenging and lonely…

We’re here to change that.

UKFT Rise is a community of early-stage (under 3 years trading) fashion and textile businesses looking to build a network of supportive like-minded people. We also welcome anyone who is thinking of starting a fashion/textile company in the near future. (Note: these companies must be selling a product).

By joining, here’s a few things you can expect from the community:

Building and looking after a team can be a tricky part of growing a new business. As the founder, it will be important to continuously practice how you empower your team to help them produce the best work possible, including during difficult times, for their benefit and for yours.
