The market is trading in a challenging economic environment. Your sourcing strategy could enable you to deliver a superb choice of quality products with higher than average margins. As new countries become more viable options for sourcing, your business strategy will need to be effective and cost-efficient. Ensuring a balanced and capable sourcing strategy is imperative particularly in the fashion environment.
Drapers is delighted to announce the return of the Global Sourcing Summit. This summit will provide you with the tools you need to streamline your sourcing strategy and drive down operational costs. Through focused case studies from leading sourcing experts, retailers and brands, you will find the answers you need to source more effectively.
Recent changes in China’s labour laws, along with rapidly rising oil prices, mean the fashion industry will need to take a strategic look at other options for globally sourcing their goods. Eastern Europe, India, Malaysia and Bangladesh all present fashion houses and retailers with an opportunity to step up their sourcing activities in new regions of the world. However, concerns over international currency fluctuations, carbon footprint, business ethics and speed of delivery could present the industry with a new set of challenges that have not been faced for years.
Choosing the right supplier and implementing quality control procedures suddenly become critical. Measuring and tracking the savings from your organisation’s global sourcing activities is imperative.
Last year’s delegates include: Arcadia Group, ASOS, Fat Face, George, Hackett, House of Fraser, Jaeger, John Lewis, Joules, Mackays, Mosaic Fashions, Mulberry, TK Maxx and more.
