Confused by where to start with UK manufacturing? Struggling to find the right factory? This course is for you.

Beth Crane - Slow Living London

The way the course is structured is excellent. It breaks down something that feels so complex into digestible chunks. For someone who works full time in a demanding role, this felt achievable and has accelerated the process vs if I had muddled through alone and probably been stuck researching in the wrong places and in the wrong order. I loved the accountability of the assignments as this helped me stay on track.

Kate's insider tips on approaching manufacturers have made that next step less daunting - I feel I can have an informed conversation to start making the vision a reality." Beth

Why is finding a UK manufacturer so hard?

You’ve got a brilliant product idea and big ambitions, but every time you reach out to a manufacturer, you hit a wall:

You can't find anyone willing to work with small quantities.

You don't know how to approach manufacturers.

You feel overwhelmed by the different types of factories and processes.

Factories don't respond to your emails.

You’re not alone. Most brands struggle to navigate the UK manufacturing landscape - but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Get the tools, knowledge, and support to find your perfect UK manufacturing partner.
