Deeargee Solar has signed up as the major sponsor of a national fashion design competition that calls Uralla Shire home but has long provided a national stage for the wool industry and many of Australia’s best young designers.
For four decades, Fleece to Fashion has celebrated the talents of leading and emerging designers as they showcase the versatility and sustainability of merino wool.
ACEN Australia, through the Deeargee Solar project, is partnering with the event in 2025 as another way to support and highlight the region’s premium wool industry.
ACEN Australia prioritises its working relationship and support for local wool growers and this sponsorship partnership highlights a connection between the high quality of local wool production and excellence in the garments industry that it underpins.
Another of our projects in the region, New England Solar, has about 6,500 merino and cross-breed sheep grazing around and under its panels.
This year’s Fleece to Fashion event will culminate in an Awards Gala Parade, at the CSIRO’s Chiswick facility between Uralla and Armidale, on Saturday 15 November 2025.
