Birdsong - Expert Impact

Sophie Slater,

Birdsong

Met with Nicholas Wheeler

For women who expect more from their wardrobe, Birdsong design original wardrobe staples. The clothes are ethical, sustainable and made by talented women facing barriers to work, for a London Living Wage.

Birdsong do fashion differently. Their impact report describes the reasons why they run their business the way they do, which includes combatting low wages, being careful about their environmental impact and supporting individual makers and creating social impact with their supply chain.

Nick was incredibly well matched to our business, knowledgeable and thorough in his advice. It was remarkable being able to interact with someone running a similar business model who had achieved such great success, and Nick was generous with his expertise.
