Agree with the need for more machinists.
But these machinists should be coming from the ranks of thousands of soon to be unemployed people already living in the UK, who in the post 19 World will be very grateful to be employed in a growing and sustainable sector.
Surely with your abilities it would be possible to gather huge momentum and funding with both government and the fashion/textile industry to ensure it is these people who are given every opportunity to have a secure and rewarding job.
You state that it can take 5 years to train a person but they don’t all need to be Tailors.
You must act primarily in support of the people of
UK , if you lack inspiration or vision you could do worse than contacting Mary Portas who trained a group of complete novices how to sew and work with products like stretch lace in a matter of a few months..with great success too.
Heres an idea, recruit the retired charge hands and seamstress’s like she did who offered decades of advice and guidance , or is all this too much effort ?
What she achieved showed the determination and pride our younger generations have, given the chance..a chance YOU must give them..
