MISSING VIDEO 4802

This is my first video blog so I’m very excited.

I’ve just returned from Southern China where I was visiting factories and suppliers. We insist that all our factories metal detect every garment before shipment to the UK and that they use an Airport type system.

The factory in the video is a supplier of Knitwear. They are currently making our 100% cotton School-wear range.

I hope you find the video useful and over the coming months I want to share with you some of the fantastic work our factories carry out to ensure our garments are safe and to the quality standard you would expect of George.

If you’ve got a question on any issue relating to George Quality or how we manage our Ethical programme please feel free to contact me.

Great news! George have won the Yours Magazine 50+ Fashion Award 2010 for Best Quality and Value.

We are also highly commended in the Best Everyday Wear Award.

Yours is an award-winning lifestyle magazine for mature women with a circulation of 284,560 and a readership of over 700,000.

The Yours Magazine 50+ Fashion Awards are chosen by readers – real 50+ women.

They simply asked their readers to tell them where they like to shop and they answered in their thousands – raving about the shops where they like to spend their hard earned cash.

Look out for the full list in the April 20th issue.
