Our Ethical Values: British made
Our British Made collection embodies our company core values to be impactful in our actions and to be authentic with our products and the brands that we support. We buy from many small British brands, because buying British supports local employment, reduces environmental impact, and invests in high-quality products. It also ensures ethical standards and local decision-making.
British Made gifts and products are amongst the best in terms of quality and social and environmental impact.
British manufacturing is amongst the best in the world and renowned for its quality. You are investing in skilfully manufactured products, designed and crafted to last. You are also helping to keep these skills alive, many of which are handed down through generations.
Buying British means certain standards of employment are assumed to be met, for example, many products manufactured overseas are not manufactured in acceptable conditions. When you buy British you know that the people making it are paid a fair wage whilst working in a safe environment.
Why buy British Made gifts?
So many reasons! By buying British you are helping to keep British people in employment and the money paid to those employees will be spent in Britain and re invested into our economy. When purchasing British products, you support skilled craftsmanship that has been passed down for generations, resulting in higher quality goods. In addition, your investment helps secure the future for British manufacturers and benefits the local economy, empowering UK companies to invest in each other. The UK has some of the world's highest standards for ethical production, so buying British-made products can help ensure that workers were treated fairly and environmental standards were upheld.
Environmental impact of British made goods
The UK follows manufacturing laws that are aligned with protecting the environment. Products made domestically often have a smaller carbon footprint compared to those mass produced in other countries. In addition, products and materials aren’t shipped around the world meaning there is a lower environmental impact. Our eco-friendly British Made collection features those brands that make sustainability a priority. By buying British you are reducing your carbon footprint.
Is British Made better quality?
British-made products are renowned for their high quality due to a number of factors, such as adherence to standards for quality management, strict laws for consistent production and industry standards, and the use of skilled workers who create durable and high quality goods. Making gifts and products in Britain also means choosing the very best materials and ingredients. As we have such a long history for manufacturing, quality control and waste control are well established here.
