The UK's fashion industry will lobby the government during Brexit talks to help brands and businesses get the best deal from the negotiations.
Former stylist and parliamentary researcher Tamara Cincik is launching a political consultancy to provide representation for the industry ? which generates £28 billion annually for the UK economy and employs approximately 880,000 people ? while Brexit negotiations take place over the coming months and years.
Cincik was appointed as a parliamentary researcher over a year ago, after working as a stylist for more than 10 years, and decided that the fashion industry needed a voice during this critical period.
She therefore set up Fashion Roundtable as a lobbying platform to influence decisions the government makes that could affect the sector. "I spent over a decade as an integrated member of the international fashion industry and as the results of the Brexit vote were announced, I recognised the damage Brexit could do to our global industry and our community," she said.
"I created Fashion Roundtable to play my part in supporting the continued growth and success of the entire worldwide fashion supply chain in this challenging time."
