Our Design, Wholesale & Technical division is a core part of our business here at Fashion & Retail Personnel. The division has gone from strength to strength since it was established in 1991; the milestones we've achieved both here and overseas and the success that we've delivered for our clients mean that we are now one of the most trusted consultancies within the UK fashion manufacturing and supplier market.

Our Design, Wholesale & Technical division in London is headed by Jennifer Barry, who has over 10 years' recruitment experience within the sector. Jennifer leads a team of three consultants who, in turn, each have in excess of 6 years' recruitment experience within the field. The support of two researchers further strengthen the resourcing expertise on the team. Our Nottingham office have an International team focused on placing the best talent overseas and this is an area of our business that is growing year on year. In addition we are also able to offer temporary or interim solutions to our manufacturing clients - making us the agency of choice for much of the industry.

From couture to high street, we cover every aspect of the manufacturing sector. There are very few positions that we haven't recruited for - even the more unusual roles.

Here's a snap shot of our successes over the last year:

  • We have filled a number of the most hard to fill vacancies within the market at present. E.g. Garment Technologists,Pattern Cutters and Account Managers.
  • We have filled 10 Account Management positions in the last 12 months with major high street suppliers.
  • We have filled 13 Garment Technologist roles and 5 Junior Garment Technologist vacancies across product areas including knitwear, tailoring and socks!
  • We have placed 7 key team members into one of the largest suppliers to the high street nearly all of which were purely down to expansion meaning we played an integral part in the growth of this business.
  • 3 out of 4 jersey and knitwear designer roles that we are briefed on we fill.
    - Across our Design, Wholesale and Technical team, for every 3 CVs we submit to our clients, 2 are invited to interview.
