Patrick Grant is a businessman and fashion designer with a background in material sciences and engineering. He is the owner of Cookson & Clegg, a garment manufacturer in Blackburn who we are proud to be working with for our launch collection. He is a campaigner for British manufacturing, passionate about regeneration and about making best quality products that last. If you watch The Great British Sewing Bee (for which Grant is one of the two judges) this passion for well-made, quality clothing is easy to see. From his ‘fixer upper’ in the Dales to saving Savile Row men’s tailoring brands from closure, to injecting new life into his clothing factory Cookson & Clegg rescued in 2015; Grant is the fashion industry’s knight in ethical armour. He has an incredible eye for seeing not only the potential in things, but also the importance and significance of their standing in history. He has a deep respect for the ancient crafts which make up the clothing manufacturing process, and can see that the struggling UK textile making regions, large parts within the north of England and Scotland, need investing in.
