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!

What Visitors Love About Our Events

Sarah Stafford

Noma Swimwear

"When I attended the Make It British Forum my company was only an idea, but the event fired me up and convinced me to press ahead with my project."

Sauman Kar

London Ethnic Beauty

“A year ago, our aim to make everything we do British and to work with British-made brands seemed a lone pursuit, but since the Forum it very much feels like there is a growing community of like-minded business people who are willing to be very supportive and helpful."

David Almond

Snide London

"We made a crucial contact at the Forum. Make it British has been vital to our success.”

Graham Holbrook

Turtle Doves

"At the Forum we made a contact who has helped our business grow 6-fold. This was seriously one of those business-transforming moments of serendipity."

Atiti Izogie

Eyato London

"Attending the forum, I was more curious than anything else, but nothing prepared me for the extent of insight and expertise on offer."

Richard Keegan

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."
