We are dedicated to innovation at all levels of our business and GSDCost is testament to this. We believe the introduction of Seamworks Cloud (a thread calculation tool) and our new Fair Wage tool, in GSDCost, will additionally play an instrumental role in delivering a fairer living wage to all people working in the global apparel manufacturing sector. With GSDCost, the opportunities are huge and we know we can make a positive difference to the industry as a whole. We see very exciting times ahead,” Adrian Elliot, divisional CEO, Apparel, Coats Group, said.
