The momentum for ‘Made in the UK’ products might be growing in popularity – both with retailers and consumers – but a lack of skilled labour and an ageing workforce are weighing on its progress. One company working to reverse this is women’s wear and nightwear fashion brand, David Nieper. Managing director Christopher Nieper tells Katie Smith why.
“Given a choice I believe consumers prefer British-made goods and the will exists amongst retailers to ‘re-shore’ – but the UK skills base is so depleted that it’s just not going to happen very quickly,” Nieper tells just-style.
