Dame Margaret Barbour will be honoured with the NatWest UKFT Outstanding Achievement Award at the upcoming NatWest UK Fashion & Textile Awards 2014 on May 22 – see Fashion Insight Events. Having spent 40 years at the helm of British brand Barbour, the businesswoman and philanthropist has been chosen for her immense and long-standing contribution to the UK fashion industry. The accolade comes as the brand marks its 120th anniversary this year. In 2013 Dame Margaret Barbour celebrated 40 years as Chairman of Barbour, and under her leadership, the brand has reinvented itself from rural and naval work wear, to a global fashion brand, with three Royal Warrants and products available in over 40 countries.
