Research report findings into the Cut Make Trim (CMT) sector have been released by Skillfast-UK, the Sector Skills Council for the apparel, footwear and textiles sector, which refute the traditional image that a CMT business is a backstreet operator.
The majority of CMT businesses that participated in Skillfast- UK's study were found to be well established concerns, having been trading for ten years with two in five establishments operating for over twenty years.
Skillfast-UK interviewed a wide variety of CMT firms, many of whom service internationally renowned brands including: Vivienne Westwood, Jasper Conran, and Burberry. The firms interviewed also deal with a significant proportion of the major high street chains such as Topshop, River Island, upmarket retailers such as John Lewis and discount chains including Primark and Matalan.
