Alam Faruk

I am an entrepreneur, avid reader and traveller. Over the years I have launched several start-ups in technology, retail and fashion and have successfully employed various exit strategies to maximise investor returns. I have a keen interest in sustainable development, partly due to my long-standing association with a major garment manufacturing hub, Bangladesh. I believe that responsible sourcing - moving beyond traditional aspects of cost, quality and consistent supply - should yield real dividends both in terms of brand preservation and the bottom line. I would be delighted to work with partners to achieve these objectives by way of providing contract manufacturing or private label solutions and would also welcome the opportunity to hear from other entrepreneurs and potential partners with innovative and disruptive ideas in the field of apparel and textiles.
