Reception at the Silkstone factory
Reception, where every buyer visit starts.

Silkstone is part of the Boldbridge group's manufacturing interests in Egypt and is run from the floor, not from an office. Buyers deal directly with the people who make their order.

Department leads for cutting, sewing, print and embroidery, quality and packing are introduced to buyers at the first visit, and every department can be seen working on the day.
