Make Buying British a Doddle.
Somewhere in the UK right now, a machinist in a factory is pushing the button on the first sample run of the next great British-made brand. We want that brand to be yours.
And if you're impatiently standing on the doorstep of making your British brand dream a reality, we’ll slip the door key into your pocket (so you don't have to faff about waiting for opportunity to knock).

Our Labour of Love is Local
We're lovingly building up British-made brands in every village, town and city from John O' Groats to Land's End, so we can save our stellar handcrafting skills, support our gloriously diverse communities, shine a (very bright but energy efficient) light on all-things-local, and tiptoe onto UK high streets with the daintiest carbon footprint you ever did see.
Let's Make it British, Together
Whether you want to grow your British-made brand, get your goods rolling off a UK- based factory production line, or get your products in front of more shoppers, we’ve got you covered.

From your first lightbulb-moment to the minute you publish your online shop, we proudly support made in UK creative businesses to develop, market and sell with ease.
Connect it
We use our expertise to open up UK manufacturing doors for you and your brand. We want factories overseas to be your very last resort (and not your first port of call!)
Sell it
We put your brand in front of online shopping folks who want quality craftship, a smaller carbon footprint, and to wave a Union Jack of support for all-brands-homegrown.
