“I learnt in detail about the use of Optitex and its uses in fit, costings – how we can bring the price down and factories abroad and the issues we need to be aware of as techs. Really enjoyed the afternoon. It was really good to see production and have an insight into the operation of this factory. Thank-you so much!” M&S Garment Tech
