Ethical school uniform firm Etika secures grant to boost growth plans

Gateshead based Etika Clothing is the first company in the UK to supply ethically sourced uniforms to the primary school market, after developing a manufacturing partnership between the UK and India which delivers full transparency and ownership of the supply chain.

Launched in 2019, the firm currently supplies uniforms to around 20 primary schools, most of which are around the North East, and it is aiming to double that number by the end of the next academic year before increasing it to three figures by summer 2024.
