Why buy British?  

 

Our manufactures need our support now more than ever. Over the last decade, we have seen a massive increase in products available back in the UK promotional market and lots of investment being pumped into the research and development of new products to expand the ranges. It's good to see it on the increase and the innovation that is coming though; we need to keep building on the momentum, keep supporting the UK manufacturers.  

 

Here are some excellent reasons why we should all be buying British made:

 

Merchandise quality 

When you buy something made in Britain, you typically purchase a skillfully manufactured product that has well and truly built to last. The quality of products that can be produced means that innovations can be turner into reality quicker.

 

Supporting the British workers

The act of buying British goods is excellent news for the UK economy. When you buy British, you are investing in skilled craftsmanship that has been handed down through the generations and better quality goods – whilst helping to secure the future for British manufacturers. Money spent on British products also filters through to your local economy and enables UK companies to invest in each other.

 

Carbon Footprint

UK manufacturing laws are in line with saving the environment. Goods manufactured on home soil often have a significantly lower carbon footprint than those mass-produced in countries abroad, such as China and India. Although you might not see much of a difference yourself, your grandchildren will certainly be glad you invested in British made goods in the years to come! Of course, when you buy British, those goods do not need to be transported halfway across the world, which is also an enormous help for the environment.

 

Clear Conscience

When you buy British, you can be sure that the people who have worked hard to make those products have been compensated fairly for their labour whilst working in a much safer and more comfortable environment. You can purchase the UK made goods with a clear conscience.

 

We've been huge supporters of UK made promotional products for years. Our range is ever-expanding, and we have a considerable pool of manufacturers that can help support bespoke British made project ideas.
