Opportunities to learn “The seminars are real added value,” pointed out Dan at William Turner, one of the show’s founders. “Visitors can come and not just learn about products on stands, but also learn about what’s going on in the trade. I’m very pleased to see The Schoolwear Show go from strength to strength. This is one of the busiest and the best. Each year everybody raises their game stand-wise.” While exhibitors remained positive about the future despite Brexit uncertainty, the show confronted some of the threats facing the sector in a daily seminar session under the title ‘Clear & Present Danger’. This focused on the need to fight the prospect of further regulation in England if the government goes ahead with turning the Department for Education’s guidelines on uniforms into tougher statutory rules curbing branded garments. “We need to make sure we are having our voice heard and represented when those important decisions are being made,” Dan commented. “This is the time we need to join together. Collectively we are very strong.” • Made to order • Yarn made from recycled plastic bottles • Wide range of shades available • Manufactured in the UK Order now | 0161 480 8582 | sales@william-turner.co.uk
