FFF#17: The philosophy of mending

Repairing is not just a practical skill it’s a mindset that challenges today’s throwaway culture. Before mass production, quality and craftsmanship mattered more than the next new thing. But can everything really be repaired? And if so, how do we make repair work at scale?

FFF#17: The philosophy of mending, Paul Kerssens, CEO, United Repair Centre
Paul Kerssens, CEO, United Repair Centre

United Repair Centre, headquartered in Amsterdam and London, with a Paris hub launching this spring, provides scalable repair solutions to over 35 major brand partners across outdoor and fashion. In doing so they create jobs and demonstrates that circular fashion can be both sustainable and profitable. Paul Kerssens, CEO of United Repair Centre joins us to talk about how companies can rethink their approach to repair, use it effectively for behaviour transformation and storytelling and most importantly what it takes to make repair work on a large scale.

The talk will be in English and takes place both in person and online. We will finish when we feel we are done, but no later than 10.00. Please RSVP by 10 May. For those who wish to attend in person, it's a first-come, first-served basis.

The meeting link will be sent out the day before (please check your junk folder!).

See you soon!
