Winning first place in 2023, the team now take home the accolade of runners-up, maintaining their status as frontrunning researchers in the supply chain discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project, funded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leverhulme.ac.uk\/\">Leverhulme Trust<\/a>, is being carried out in collaboration with Erica Charles (Glasgow Caledonian University) and Professor Helen Goworek (Durham University).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award-winning research is ongoing and focuses on garment manufacturing in Leicester, UK. In recent years, the region has come under scrutiny due to repeated reports of unethical working conditions and violations of modern slavery laws in factories linked to certain fast fashion brands. However, there is now a strong movement within the industry to transform practices, with the research now focusing on a shift towards a more human-centred supply chain that values and prioritises workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/fashion-1024x537.png\" alt=\"Dr Amy Benstead and Dr Victoria Stephens with their award certificates \" class=\"wp-image-6253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/fashion-1024x537.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/fashion-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/fashion-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/fashion.png 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Lead, Dr Benstead, is a Senior Lecturer in Fashion Management and a recognised expert in modern slavery.
