Stuff made in Britain

 

I have decided to compose a list of companies which actually make stuff here in the UK to help raise the profile of British manufacturers. My aim is to get people to think more about supporting local home grown businesses which are creating real sustainable jobs in the UK. I think  buying things manufactured in the UK will also help reduce the throw away culture we have become accustomed to in the last couple of decades.  Buying a slightly more expensive quality garment and wearing it for several years will hopefully become fashionable again. I'll add to it in a couple of weeks.
