Ep. 129: UKFT on the importance of trade shows
WTiN Textile Innovation Podcast speaks to Paul Alger MBE, director of international affairs at UKFT, in a two part special.
This is the first part of a two part special podcast series with the UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT). We speak with Paul Alger MBE, director of international affairs at UKFT in both episodes.
In this first episode Alger delves into the work of UKFT and his position in international trade for the organisation. He speaks about the importance of global trade shows and which global markets the textile and fashion industry should be keeping an eye on.
During the episode, Alger also touches upon the India x UK trade agreement and the impact that governments can have on global trade and trends moving forward. He looks at the this through UK-centric lenses to unpack what this means for the country and the European Union moving forward. In the second episode, which will be released in two weeks, Alger will speak about exports and international trade.
