Fast fashion has always been competitive but in recent years its become a speed-driven race to the bottom.
No matter how low prices are today, some new player will enter the market - with even lower prices - and more styles!
In the midst of this chaos, UK supermarkets have carved out a solid business selling budget priced fashion. Yes, fashion. Not basics. Not the standard socks and underwear you’d expect to find in a supermarket.
Not only that, they are offering quality products made from premium ingredients, including Supima cotton.
We can help but wonder - how are they doing this?
Today we are joined by Dean Clegg, a supply chain consultant, who previously was Global Sourcing Director at Sainsbury's.
He’s going to share an insider’s view of how supermarkets are winning in the fashion category.
He’ll also be giving us some insights on how we can tighten up our supply chains in order to navigate what looks like another challenging year.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
