Bootcamp

The Centre for Fashion Enterprise’s Fashion Fast-track Bootcamp aims to assist launch new ideas, products and services into the highly competitive, fast moving and network driven, fashion industry. Many great new concepts do not reach their market due to poor strategic planning, lack of expert advice from high level advisors, and poor access to useful networks. Many do not even get to the first stage of expert market feedback.

Intensive and focused, the CFE’s Bootcamp is designed to support entrepreneurs to test their new idea, product or service’s viability and explore and plan their launch strategies using relevant media and hard to reach networks. Our fast-track approach will minimise your risks. We will match you with our experts who will work with you to direct your strategies to make sure your business idea is properly researched, developed, planned, funded and launched; increasing your chances of success!

Host: Toby Meadows – Author of ‘How to set up and run a fashion label’

Speakers: Experts whose clients have included Ted Baker, Gap, Zara, Topshop, Gucci, Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood
