Adam Mansell to step in as UKFT’s CEO from January 2016

The UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT) has announced that Chief Executive Officer John Miln will be stepping down and Adam Mansell will step into his role as of January 2016.

Having held the position since 2011, Miln’s leadership has been instrumental in the growth and success of the association as it now stands and the businesses it has helped develop and grow. Prior to UKFT, Miln’s entire career has been in textiles and apparel, working in global multinationals, UK branded enterprises and SME’s in various senior executive board roles in the UK, Europe and internationally. Miln will stay on as a Consultant to UKFT.

Adam Mansell, current Director of Special Projects at UKFT, will succeed John Miln and assume the role in January 2016. As Director of Special Projects at UKFT, his focus has been on increasing the membership offer, including overseeing the introduction of a new Retail Partner Programme, as well as introducing the UKFT Masterclasses and running an environmental programme, which has seen UK dyers and weavers significantly reduce their CO2 emissions.

Along with his work at UKFT, Mansell is a Director of Wulff Consultancy; a consultancy for the fashion and textile industry and has recently been elected as President of Ginetex, the organisation that owns the trademarked care labelling symbols. Having previously worked in the accountancy and publishing sectors, Mansell joined the textile and clothing industry 20 years ago. With experience representing all aspects of the fashion and textile supply chain, he has links to every part of the industry from design, fabric and component suppliers, wholesalers, brands, manufacturers and retail.
