The Frank Co. CEO Frankie Hewitson to Speak at London Design Festival 2026
London, UK, August 2026 – The Frank Co. is pleased to announce that its Founder and CEO, Frankie Hewitson, will join an expert panel at the London Design Festival 2026, hosted by international law firm Gowling WLG, on 14 September 2026 at its London offices.
Now in its 15th year, the seminar has become a flagship event within the London Design Festival calendar, bringing together leaders from design, technology, law, and business to explore the forces reshaping innovation and creativity.
Frankie will join an accomplished panel of industry experts to discuss the growing intersection of artificial intelligence, intellectual property, ESG, and global supply chains. The session will examine how organisations can protect creativity while building resilient, transparent, and future-ready businesses.
As Founder of The Frank Co. and creator of The Chain, Frankie brings extensive experience helping fashion and consumer brands navigate increasingly complex sustainability regulations. Her work focuses on supply chain transparency, Digital Product Passports, wage analytics, and practical compliance strategies that enable businesses to meet regulatory requirements while strengthening commercial performance.
The discussion comes at a pivotal moment for the creative industries. As AI transforms design and innovation, questions surrounding ownership, intellectual property, responsible sourcing, and supply chain resilience have become business-critical.
"Design, innovation, and sustainability are no longer separate conversations," said Frankie Hewitson, Founder and CEO of The Frank Co. "Businesses must protect both creative ideas and the people who bring those ideas to life. I'm looking forward to discussing how transparency across global supply chains supports innovation while preparing organisations for the future."
The Frank Co. looks forward to contributing to this important conversation alongside fellow industry leaders and engaging with designers, innovators, legal experts, and business executives during one of the world's premier celebrations of creativity.
