The Design Trust was set up more than 20 years ago by the late Peta Levi MBE as a charity to provide business training and support to designers and crafts people in the UK.
Peta also founded the famous and popular New Designers exhibition, the major graduate design exhibition in the UK that takes place in Islington in London every year, launching many designer’s careers. In the last 5 years The Design Trust and its sister organisation Design-Nation were managed by Rachel Moses at Metropolitan Works in London.
Peta was the pioneer to provide specialist business support and creating marketing and manufacturing opportunities for many designers and designer makers in the UK.
