The Aims of the Company

To develop as a not-for-profit community enterprise, with the ambition within the next 3 to 5 years to employ between 30 and 50 workers producing high quality garments with a Made-in-Wales-label. Workers will form the largest majority on the Company Board. 

The priorities of the company are to:

1. Provide new employment chances to a predominantly female workforce in an area of high unemployment, where opportunities are generally for low skilled, low paid work;

2. Enable high skilled previous employees of Burberry to return to employment in the sewing industry. These skills are linked to both the production of high-qualitygarments and in the training of the next generation of workers in the industry;

3. Protect the skills and experience of previous Burberry employees in the sewing industry. There is a small pool of expertise remaining, which needs to be utilised with some urgency to ensure the skills are not lost permanently;

4. Provide high quality, well paid employment within walking distance of most employees;

5. Provide permanent employment, good rates of pay, good terms and supportive HR policies;

6. Develop a sustainable business model, with a Made-in-Wales-label.
