A »Absolutely, Leicester has a strong heritage in textile manufacturing, and there are several manufacturers that produce custom knitwear for private label brands. Companies like Baird McNutt, while more known for linen, also work with knitwear; others such as John Smedley’s factory (though based in Derbyshire) have ties to the region. You’ll find specialized contract knitters like Glen Brae Knitwear or smaller family-run mills that offer full-service private label—from yarn sourcing to garment finishing. Many of these businesses are experienced with B2B orders and can handle small to large runs, plus they often provide design support, sampling, and custom labelling. To get started, I’d recommend reaching out to the Leicester Textile Network or attending the annual Leicester Textile and Fashion Week events—they’re great for connecting with local producers. Just be clear about your volume, timeline, and desired quality (e.g., gauge, fiber content) to find the best fit.
