Meet Your Host, Kate Hills

Make it British Forum October 2022 with your host Kate Hills

Make it British founder and trusted authority on manufacturing in the UK.

I’ve been passionate about UK manufacturing ever since I had my own recycled clothing company and micro factory in the early '90s!

After spending 20 years as a designer and buyer developing products all over the world, I launched Make it British as a way of supporting fashion and homeware brands that want to make locally.

Over the last ten years I've helped 1,000s of businesses, from start-ups to multiple retailers, to find and successfully work with UK manufacturers.

I know the quality and flexibility that making in the UK can bring to any business - and how much more sustainable it is too!

7 day access to the recordings of all the sessions for after the conference closes.

Usual Objections

"We're in the process of starting our own sports swimwear company. The sourcing has been completed for a while but we have had some hiccups on the manufacturing side of things - as we really wanted to make stuff in the UK. We picked up loads of tips from the speakers about making thorough tech packs, monitoring costs and how to market your products."
