Fashion brands seek British manufacturingThe British manufacturing sector has been given a boost by the news that many leading fashion brands are keen to have their products made in the UK.

According to a new report by Reuters, the fashion manufacturing market is enjoying a lucrative period largely thanks to the country's reputation for high quality, prestigious heritage and history and excellent craftsmanship.

"There is something about made in England, it's not just Chinese visitors [who love British-made products], it's throughout continental Europe, America. It's just something we're gifted by, having 'Made in England'," Harold Tillman, of the British Fashion Council, told the news source.

Fashion is not the only area in which manufacturing is booming, as the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders recently said the production of vehicles in the UK is also on the up.

With London Fashion Week ending today (February 22nd), Britain could be set for a period of sustained growth in the clothes production market.ADNFCR-3058-ID-801300008-ADNFCR
