the fashion feed - episode 26 - amy fettis owner of the UK factory studio 54

Amy & I met through a mutual client who’s (Amelia @ Vexxas) - thanks Amelia! We were meant to meet in person at the Make It British conference which has sadly been postponed due to the virus so we recorded on Zoom instead!

Amy operates Aim Athleisure Ltd which is in it’s 4th financial year alongside her sampling studio - Studio 54. After launching her own business, she realised the gap in the market at how hard it is to get your product from paper into production so decided to create her own sample room in the UK

Amy has a background in project management which have some great transferable skills into production & running a sampling facility as there’s so many different stages to bring together all at once - very similar to a house build!
