The past 18 months have been some of the most challenging in fashion retail history. As the fashion industry rebuilds, this year’s Drapers Awards celebrated the retailers, brands, suppliers and agencies that innovated to survive, and built stronger businesses under the toughest of circumstances. The awards cover the entire spectrum of fashion retail. Categories include Team of the Year, Rising Star and the Disruptor Award. We are delighted to announce that Maxwell-Scott has won the Accessory Brand of the Year award and was praised by the panel of expert judges.
We are a close-knit, diverse team of professionals at our Yorkshire HQ, who still work closely with founder and CEO, William Forshaw and his wife and the brand’s customer service manager Charlotte across our communications and our unique product offering. Because of this, we’ve been able to pivot and respond organically to the shift in shopping habits and our customers’ needs.
“Maxwell-Scott, founded by CEO William Forshaw in 2002, has gone from strength to strength despite the Covid-19 headwinds. The brand worked closely with its suppliers, many of whom are based in Italy, to continue producing high-quality, beautiful products during the pandemic. The brand’s ability to adapt to the surge in online shopping also shone through.”
