About us
The Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwise (PCIAW) is the first UK and Worldwide association dedicated exclusively to the professional clothing industry and supply chain. As a membership organisation, The Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwide (PCIAW) brings together professionals from across the diverse sectors, and from around the globe to establish a cohesive voice for the rapidly-growing industry. Dedicated exclusively to the trade, it will push the agenda of the many sectors within it and strengthen our influence in discussions and key decisions. The association is a defining development within the professional clothing industry, and the recent appointment of a Chairman is notable and establishes the association upon firm foundations. Renowned industry leader and former CEO of the UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT), John Miln brings a wealth of experience as well as expertise in the UK and international textiles and apparel business. John, who was instrumental in the growth and success of UKFT, says “An association dedicated to the professional clothing industry has been long awaited; there has already been a very significant amount of interest from key organisations in the UK and internationally who are highly supportive of the creation and development of the PCIAW. “As an organisation run by members for its members, I believe it will very quickly become a fundamentally important part of the overall apparel and textile industry which resides across the UK and internationally; as is my ambition for the PCIAW. With the support of our members, my focus is on quickly establishing the association as a key voice for the industry, representing their views and tackling the issues most important to the sustainability and development of their businesses and the professionals within it.
