David Burgess has been re-elected as Chair of The Schoolwear
Association, whose members help to clothe three-quarters of Britain’s children,
with a renewed commitment to supporting the industry and promoting the benefits
of school uniform.
Daniel Turner, Managing Director at William Turner and Son, is the
new Vice Chairman, taking over from Christine Campbell. Dan has been a member
of the Executive since the launch of The Association in 2006 and has had
responsibility for the marketing team throughout that period.
David Burgess comments: “It is essential for our industry to have
a collective voice so that we can continue to promote the benefits of school
specific uniform, as we believe it is not only a practical and cost effective
solution for schools and parents but also drives a sense of belonging and pride
for pupils. To make sure this message is heard, we need to maintain a strong
industry association which represents the many small and medium sized
businesses, from manufacturers to wholesalers and independent retailers, who
make up this sector.”
