Laslett England is celebrating Made in UK Day on 9 March 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the appetite to shop locally and support local businesses grows, we\u2019re taking part in Made in UK Day on Wednesday 9 March, 2022.<\/p>\n

The Made in UK Day campaign has been created by Make it British to celebrate their 10-year anniversary.\u00a0 Started as a blog by ex-retail buyer Kate Hills to champion all the wonderful products that are made in the UK, the Make it British website has now been visited by more than 6.5 million people looking to buy UK-made products and search for UK manufacturers.\u00a0 This year alone has seen a 68% increase in enquiries since the UK left the EU\u2019s single market and customs union.<\/p>\n

UK manufacturing is currently worth \u00a3192 billion to the UK economy and employs 2.7 million people. More than 65 million people live in the UK and if everyone bought just one item made in the UK worth \u00a320 on Made in UK Day it would be worth \u00a31.3billion.<\/p>\n

Laslett England<\/strong> scarves, neckerchiefs, and silk pocket squares are printed and finished in Macclesfield Cheshire and Rochester in Kent.<\/p>\n

By purchasing from UK-made businesses like us you are helping to:<\/p>\n

Lower your carbon footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buying products made closer to home means you can significantly reduce the number of miles something has travelled. In turn, this reduces its carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

UK-made products are often made in much smaller quantities, too. Many can be made to order, discouraging waste within the supply chain.<\/p>\n

Save essential skills\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manufacturing requires skill. Not everyone suits working in a service-based industry. By purchasing a product that is made in the UK you are helping to save skills within local communities. Skills that would otherwise be lost.<\/p>\n

Create job opportunities\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.7 million people work within manufacturing in the United Kingdom. When you buy a product that is made in the UK you are directly contributing to keeping someone in employment.<\/p>\n

Promote UK craftsmanship\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you buy a product that is made in the UK you are helping to preserve craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations.<\/p>\n

Boost local economies\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buying locally made directly contributes to your local economy.<\/p>\n

Spend your money wisely and help contribute directly towards the area in which you live.<\/p>\n

Preserve UK manufacturing\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If everyone living in the United Kingdom bought just one item made in the UK worth \u00a320 on Made in UK Day it would be worth \u00a31.3bn!<\/p>\n

Spend your money wisely and help UK manufacturing to thrive.<\/p>\n

How to get involved in Made in UK Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can get involved in the campaign too by pledging to buy something that is made in the UK on 9 March and share your pictures on social media using the hashtag #madeinukday<\/p>\n
