Centre for Fashion Enterprise will offer 25 fashion tech businesses access to a creative co-working office in Hackney and a range of educational services through a new partnership with Second Home.

Their collaboration will support businesses participating in the Centre of Fashion Enterprise’s programmes, which provides tailored mentoring and strategic guidance to fashion, jewellery and fashion tech start-ups at different points in their journey.

25 brands will receive a three-month roaming membership at Second Home’s London Fields workspace, which is located just minutes from CFE’s offices. Designed to support creativity and entrepreneurship, the space is filled with natural light and thousands of plants and trees, and it offers an on-site nursery run by N Nursery & Family Club.

Additionally, there is a wellbeing and cultural programme, and a member-only educational programme offering workshops and talks with experts.

Judith Tolley, head of CFE says: “We believe in the power of community and creating supportive ecosystems with wellbeing at their heart. Successful collaboration requires a cooperative spirit and mutual respect, this has all the right ingredients for success.”

Dan Roper, general manager at Second Home London Fields adds: "Second Home is all about supporting creativity and entrepreneurship, which is why we're so thrilled to partner with Centre for Fashion Enterprise. Together we can help build the next generation of British fashion success stories - and give more budding entrepreneurs the chance to make it big.”
 
The businesses will have access to the offices from 18 February.
