In This FREE Masterclass, You Will...

✅ Learn my signature 5 Step Factory Readiness Method™ which has helped hundreds of small business owners to get their products made in the UK.

✅ Find out why manufacturers don't get back to you (and how to make sure you get a reply).

✅ Why sampling costs can spiral out of control and how to avoid it.

✅ What a tech pack is, why you need one and how to create a tech pack quickly and easily without using a designer.

Factory-readiness is not just about finding a factory. It’s about putting the right steps in place so you don’t waste time or money getting your product made.

This Masterclass is For Anyone Who...

Wants to Start

Has an idea for a product but doesn’t know how to get it made properly.

Wants to Delegate

Is currently making everything themselves and wants a more reliable process.

Wants to Grow

Already produces in small batches but keeps running into sampling or quality issues.

Wants to Reshore

Is producing overseas and wants a smoother, more transparent UK supply chain.

This free masterclass draws on my 35 years of working with UK manufacturers and helping founders avoid the pitfalls that derail sampling, timelines and budgets.

Most problems begin long before a factory is even involved. I’ll show you the early decisions that shape your entire production run, so you can stop firefighting and start feeling in control. No matter what type of product you’re creating, getting these foundations right will save you time, money and stress.

Make in British Founder Kate Hills | Made in UK

Hello, I'm Kate

I’ve worked in the fashion and textile industry for over 35 years, from running my own micro factory to developing products all over the world as a buyer and designer. Since launching Make it British in 2011, I’ve helped thousands of founders work successfully with UK manufacturers and build profitable, sustainable brands.

If you want honest advice, practical steps and a clearer path through the chaos of sampling and production, this webinar will be a great place to start.

"I can very much recommend working with Kate Hills at Make it British if you're wanting to do stuff in the UK. She is an encyclopaedia of British manufacturing and knows more than I've forgotten." Brant Richards, HebTroCo
