UKFT is curating a series of strategic sourcing opportunities for members, building on the success of last year’s trial and in response to the evolving global geopolitical landscape.

We are currently exploring key sourcing countries including Morocco and Egypt, with further destinations under consideration. Members interested in learning more or registering their interest in upcoming sourcing opportunities are encouraged to get in touch by emailing info@ukft.org

Last year, UKFT took a group of sourcing representatives from leading UK retailers and brands on a buying mission to Morocco, attending Maroc in Mode (MIM) 2024 in Casablanca in partnership with AMITH (the Association Marocaine des Industries du Textile et de l’Habillement).

As part of UKFT’s sourcing programme, travel and accommodation may be provided for qualifying representatives from high street or online retailers and brands with a turnover above £15m. Please get in touch for further details.

UKFT also helps UK fashion and textile businesses to enter new international markets.
