Tamara Cincik has over 20 years experience in the fashion industry and is the founder of Fashion Roundtable, the secretariat for The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Textiles and Fashion. Fashion Roundtable supports the diverse voices of the fashion industry, and provides a much needed link between fashion, business, consumers and policy leaders. In this episode Tamara discusses the challenges that Brexit poses to the fashion industry, particularly to manufacturers looking for skilled staff. It is estimated that up to 50% of garment workers in the UK come from overseas. If these skilled machinists cannot get visas to come to the UK post-Brexit it will pose a real threat to the ability for UK factories to keep up with the current rise in demand. Tamara, through her work with the APPG, has set out the case for changes to visa policy which would allow these skilled workers from the EU to work in the textile industry in the UK post-Brexit. But we need as many people as possible to get behind it and write to their MP to let them know that this is an issue before it's too late.  Please take a moment to write to your local MP - your voice matters, and they have to act on anything you send to them!

This week I was at the Houses of Parliament for a meeting with the All Party Parliamentary Group for textiles and fashion to discuss the issue of the lack of skilled garment machinists in the UK. The meeting was organised by Tamara Cincik of Fashion Roundtable, who is the secretariat for the group.  There were several UK garment manufacturers in the room, along with representatives from the British Retail Consortium and The UK in a Changing Europe - an independent research body that gives advice on all of the possible outcomes with Brexit. The reason that we were all there was to ask the Government with help to ease the issue of the lack of skilled garment workers in the UK, and to impress upon them WHY this is important The UK textile industry is worth over £9bn to the economy currently - but it could double if supply could keep up with demand. The only thing holding it back is the lack of staff. If you care about the lack of skills in UK garment manufacturing, there are a couple of things that you can do: Write to your local MP and state you case as to why you think garment machinists and textile workers should be put on the shortage occupation list. Complete the APPG survey  if you are a manufacturer, or pass it on to any manufacturers that you know, who employ garment machinists. If you have any thoughts on this I would love to hear from you. Please leave me a review on iTunes  - and help spread the word about UK manufacturing.

From front row to front bench? Why not? It's time we stopped considering fashion as simply fluffy. The industry is a giant global employer with serious impacts on the environment, and yet it is not traditionally associated with being active in the political arena or central to government policy. Our guest this week, on the final Episode of Series 2, is Londoner Tamara Cincik, founder of the British policy organisation Fashion Roundtable, who is derminted to change this. Her timing's pretty good. In the UK in June, the Environmental Audit Committe (a select committee of the House of Commons) announced it would be looking in to fast fashion, inquiring into the carbon, resource use and water footprint of clothing throughout its lifecycle, and looking at how clothes can be recycled, and waste and pollution reduced. Over the next few months, loads of industry insiders made submissions, and the mainstream headlines hummed with fashion and politics. It’s about time, says Tamara, that fashion stepped up its engagement in this space, because things like Brexit and modern slavery legislation affect the industry. And, in the UK at least, MPs are currently very interested in what fashion is doing to clean up its supply chains and environmental impact. This is our final show for Series 2.

A nation’s wealth and it’s attraction to work and live is determined by Gross domestic product (GDP), which is the market value of all final goods and services from a nation in a given year. This means that as an economy we want to be productive, work hard, and make money. To make money we have to have conditions in which businesses are supported by the Government to prosper, and in turn the government reap the reward of prosperity through taxes. These taxes can then be redistributed to contribute to the wealth and wellbeing of society as a whole. Fashion businesses are a unique, unusual combination of art and commerce. For a fashion business to be successful they need to be supported financially and to employ exceptional talent.  The UK is known for its creativity and a fashion education system that produces the most talented people in the world. So therefore it would make economic sense to capitalise on that talent, to help them to prosper, to attract them to study, work and build businesses here, in the UK. So why do we make it so hard for international students to remain in the UK after their student visa ends? And why do we not support designers to hire the best talent in the world? Ashish Gupta, Founder of luxury fashion brand Ashish, is a global success, but one we regard as British. Having shown at London Fashion Week 27 times, Ashish has experienced first how stressful and counterproductive the visa process can be.  In this podcast Ashish and Tamara Cincik, CEO & founder of Fashion Roundtable discuss how an immigrant from Delhi, who was educated at Central St Martins, has made a successful fashion business in the UK despite extremely challenging economic environmental circumstances.  Though the discussion we begin to build a picture of a way forward in which the Government can support our unique fashion industry. And that’s where Fashion Roundtable, through manifestos that propose a way forward, make Ashish’s and many other fashion industry works voices heard, so the Government can make sure the UK is the best place for the fashion industry. www.ashish.co.uk www.fashionroundtable.co.uk www.blackneondigital.co.uk

With London Fashion Week only a few days away attracting visitors and business opportunities from all over the world, we have to ask; What will the fashion industry look like post-Brexit? How do we make our fashion industry sustainable? One in 74 people in the UK work in the fashion industry, employing over 800,000. The creative industries contributed a record £91.8bn to the UK economy in 2016. The largest component of the creative industries is fashion, which makes over £28bn annually for the UK economy. The contribution of the UK creative industries rose more than twice as fast as the average growth rate across the UK economy, outpacing even the purely digital sector. If fashion was a nation state, it would rank as the seventh richest global economy.  From that stats we can see the UK fashion industry is making money and growing. So what’s the problem? The problem is thanks to Brexit we have a perfect storm coming our way. The main issue is that the fashion industry isn’t fully represented within Government.  Thankfully Tamara Cincik founded Fashion Roundtable to make our voices heard.In this podcast I speak with Tamara Cincik to find out why an accomplished fashion stylist created Fashion Roundtable, is the secretariat for All-Party Parliamentary Group for Textiles and Fashion and we discuss how we can all get involved to make a difference. www.fashionroundtable.co.ukwww.blackneondigital.com

The fashion industry employs over 880,000 individuals in the UK and generates upwards of £28billion for the economy, but is its voice being heard over Brexit? One woman who wants to make sure its concerns are on the agenda is Tamara Cincik, who is the brainchild behind Fashion Roundtable, a parliamentary lobbying project, that launches officially on November 21. Tamara joins Tim to discuss the role and concerns of the almost entirely pro-remain fashion industry as the UK’s exit from the European Union draws ever nearer.
