ITV were on the Vote Leave campaign trail this week, when  former London Lord Mayor, Boris Johnson visited the David Nieper fashion house to make a speech and take questions from staff concerning the impact of a Brexit on the UK.

Boris was given a tour around the luxury women’s wear factory, where he chatted to staff and took some time to try practise his sewing and ironing skills, before taking to the podium to address 250+ staff and media for questions and answers.

Christopher Nieper was featured in a BBC News item, speaking about the skills shortage in the UK textiles industry and what David Nieper is doing to address the issue, with the establishment of a sewing school, working closely with local universities, and encouraging more young people into careers in fashion manufacturing.

David Nieper was in the news today in dialogue with Alan Johnson MP about the best deal for British business in, or out of the EU.

“David Nieper welcomed Alan Johnson’s visit today.  More MP’s should follow his example and get out to ask British businesses what they think. Airing opinions is what democracy is all about and the UK needs much more public dialogue about the forthcoming referendum on the EU to fully understand  the issues.”
