Sector-specific trade body the Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwide (PCIAW) hosted a webinar at the end of January with the aim of encouraging clothing brands in the UK to build new ties with textile and apparel manufacturers in Tunisia.

Chief executive, Yvette Ashby, said she thought Tunisia’s proximity and established textile manufacturing industry could help “revivify supply chains across the UK”.

Tunisia’s ambassador to the UK, Nabil Ben Khedher, and the UK’s ambassador to Tunisia, Edward Oakden, both took part in the discussion and lent their support to the idea of strengthening links between UK clothing brands and Tunisian manufacturing partners.
