We caught up with Samir from Kadco Fashion & Textiles to find out more about his business and why he chose to return to the rebuildingsociety.com crowd to raise further finance to grow his Yorkshire based business.
A short introduction to the company.
Samir, please tell us how the business started…and when.
The business itself has been going since 1967, but in it’s current ltd company form 6 years, 2012.
What are the biggest changes you’ve seen in that time?
Previously, the business was great as competition was low and barriers to entry were much higher. Over the years, we have seen that the business has become tougher. We have combatted this, and are coming out stronger by diversifying into various new ranges such as loose textiles, craft fabrics, wedding dresses etc, and we now find ourselves with an offering over these areas second to none.
What’s the retail scene like in Bradford now?
Competitive but thriving, and as long as you have a different offering to others as we do, then business is good.
How do you see it changing in the future?
The future looks good for us, we still haven’t delved into the realms of online properly, which leaves us with huge potential for growth to service a new market of customers, we are also growing and increasing our product ranges monthly to offer our customers more under one roof.
Thanks Samir, hope you're enjoying the Christmas season,
