Textile Forum was founded in 2002 to offer designers a quality product, with low minimums and fast delivery, and this has proved extremely successful.
In fact, it is even more relevant today.
- Why? Because of the changes to supply chains and sourcing which have been accelerated by Brexit and Covid. This has resulted in:
- Fabric buyers and sourcing managers from major brands looking for suppliers closer to home
- Less overseas travel
- Smaller garment production runs – more flexible and reactive to consumer trends; reduced waste
- Growth in emerging businesses entering the market – more new companies looking to do things differently
- A thirst for innovation
The industry has changed. Consider exhibiting at Textile Forum as a low-risk way of reaching new customers close to home.
UKFT organises the show in partnership with Linda Laderman PR and members receive discounts on exhibiting rates. All prices include rails, table, chairs, signage, electricity, WIFI, porters and marketing.
