I started on a factory floor in Wigan, and got promoted to Quality Manager making jeans for Marks & Spencer.
Real production, real deadlines, real problems to solve. At the sharp end. That's where making garments gets into your bones, not from a textbook.
Over four decades since, I've worked with some of the biggest names on the high street — Charles Tyrwhitt, Jaeger, Aquascutum, Reiss, Tesco and Matalan — across menswear, womenswear and childrenswear. I've also brought the same rigour to performance sportswear, with Rapha Racing, Castore, and Grays International (Gray-Nicholls Cricket, Gilbert Rugby).
I've audited over 200 factories around the world, so I know my way around a production line, I know what good construction looks like, and I know exactly where things tend to go wrong — because I've seen it happen, fixed it, and written the procedures to stop it happening again.
Reddington is me, putting that experience directly to work for you: writing clear manuals that make sense, accurate specifications, realistic critical paths, and factories inspected by someone who actually knows what they're looking at.
No jargon, no fluff — just someone who can do the do.
Clear, accurate manuals that factories and teams can actually follow — no ambiguity, no guesswork.
Detailed specs that translate design intent into production-ready instruction.
Realistic timelines that account for how production actually runs, keeping deliveries on track.
On-the-ground assessment of quality, capability, and compliance — an experienced eye, not a checklist exercise.
Practical training for production teams to raise and maintain standards.
Catching issues before they become expensive problems at scale.
Guidance on selecting and vetting manufacturing partners, backed by a global database of factory contacts.
Every job is scoped and quoted before work begins — get in touch for a tailored price.
Brands, retailers, and manufacturers across menswear, womenswear, and childrenswear who need technical rigour they can trust — whether that's a growing label scaling up production or an established manufacturer tightening up quality control and compliance.
The same expertise applied to performance sportswear — teamwear, cricket, rugby, cycling, and football — for brands who need production support in this area too.
Whatever stage you're at — a spec that needs sharpening, a factory that needs auditing, or a range that needs sorting out — get in touch.
