Manchester Made & Regions brings together UK manufacturers, brands, retailers, buyers and industry leaders to turn support for British manufacturing into practical action.

Developed collaboratively by Source Fashion and Fashion-Enter Ltd, with support from the Apparel and Textile Manufacturers Federation (ATMF), the event will showcase UK production capabilities while tackling a central question: what will it really take to accelerate the reindustrialisation of UK fashion and textile manufacturing?

The programme will explore the barriers preventing more orders from reaching British factories, the role of public procurement and how localised production can strengthen supply-chain resilience, flexibility and long-term growth.

Alongside the conference, attendees will be able to meet manufacturers from Manchester and across the UK, discover their capabilities and build new sourcing relationships.

Who should attend?

The event is open to buyers, brands, retailers, manufacturers, sourcing professionals, designers, policymakers, educators and the wider fashion and textile industry.
