ASBCI Features Leicester Made & Regions 2026
The continued support from ASBCI for Leicester Made & Regions 2026 highlights the growing importance of collaboration, innovation and knowledge-sharing within the UK fashion and textile sector. As one of the industry’s most respected organisations, ASBCI’s involvement not only reinforces the credibility of the event but also underlines its role as a key platform for driving the future of British manufacturing.
Founded in 1992, ASBCI has evolved from a small network of 20 members into a thriving association of over 100 organisations, representing some of the most influential names across the clothing and textile supply chain. With expertise spanning everything from fibre production to garment manufacturing, retail, and aftercare, the association has become a central hub for both technical excellence and commercial insight within the industry.
The February 2026 edition of the ASBCI’s In Association magazine featured an extensive four-page spread on the up-coming Leicester Made & Regions trade event. The feature not only celebrated the event’s growth and impact but also showcased its role in championing UK-based production, innovation and skills development. By dedicating significant editorial space to the initiative, ASBCI has helped elevate its national profile and encourage wider industry engagement.
Leicester Made & Regions continues to stand out as an event that brings together manufacturers, brands, educators, and innovators, creating a space where ideas can be exchanged and partnerships formed. The ongoing backing from ASBCI reflects a shared mission to strengthen the UK supply chain and promote best practices across all levels of the industry.
A key figure reinforcing this connection is Elizabeth Brandwood, Head of UK Operations at Style3D. Known for her work in advancing 3D and AI technologies within fashion design and development, Elizabeth plays a vital role in helping brands streamline workflows, reduce time to market, and adopt more data-driven decision-making processes.
Her involvement in Leicester Made & Regions 2026 as a panel speaker further strengthens the link between innovation and manufacturing. In addition to her role at Style3D, Elizabeth serves as Events Director on the ASBCI board, where she is dedicated to fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange across the industry. Her commitment to impactful events aligns closely with the ethos of Leicester Made & Regions, making her contribution particularly significant.
ASBCI’s continued support through editorial coverage, event participation, and leadership involvement demonstrates a strong endorsement of Leicester Made & Regions as a vital UK-led initiative.
