The article draws from a comparative study of Cypriot entrepreneurs in the London and Cyprus clothing industries undertaken for the purposes of a phD. The research included the interviewing of forty-six entrepreneurs in southern Cyprus most of whom were Cut, Make and Trim (CMT) contractors in the women's wear sector. The forty-six enterprises employed a total of 1,726 workers or approximately 10 per cent of the sectoral total. See, Unpublished PhD thesis

The strategy of 'capital to labour' was adopted by the two largest clothing exporters in Cyprus (JET and Synek), in both cases to Jordan. Another strategy has consisted of 'labour to capital', with immigrant labour accounting for 6 per cent of all registered employment and a higher proportion (14 per cent) of sectoral employment. See
