A BRADFORD-based tailor has been named a Small Business of 2020 by Lloyds Bank, after providing PPE to local clinics and delivering food packages during the pandemic. Imran Khan, owner of IK Collections, was forced to close his two shops to the public following government guidance during the pandemic. Jannat by IK Collections specialises in bespoke outfits for the Asian market including Sherwanis, suits and bridal wear, and IK Collections is where traditional suits are handmade in store by a team of tailors who have occupied the building since the 1960s. The closures were followed by several cancellations from customers who had to postpone weddings and special occasions due to lockdown restrictions.
