The UK’s Department for International Trade (DIT) has cancelled the Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP), which industry association UK Fashion and Textiles (UKFT) described as “catastrophic".

UKFT said it had worked companies and the government to ensure the grants are used in the most effective way and that household names such as Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood, Abraham Moon, Harris Tweed Hebrides, Sunspel, Christopher Raeburn and Liberty Fabrics had been launched at such events.
