Made in Britain - Celebrating local manufacturing
|
|
Each year Bristol Blue Glass opens up it’s unique factory for Heritage Open Days giving visitors demonstrations of traditional glass blowing techniques. |
Made in Britain celebrates British manufacturing locations, skills and craftsmanship as an important part of this country's cultural heritage. Launched in 2007 as "Made in England", the campaign will continue on a larger scale this year, showcasing companies across Great Britain. For many years, manufacturers have enriched the annual Heritage Open Days programme with tours around their premises and skills demonstrations. Through Made in Britain, the Civic Trust pays tribute to the contribution that these companies make and have made to the wealth and the identity of local communities as well as entire regions. We will be working with a diverse range of British companies, which all stand for excellence in quality and design and continue to keep alive a long manufacturing tradition in their respective field. Starting with the five companies who took part in 2007, the campaign will invite manufacturers of goods, foods and beverages whose main production base is located in Britain to participate. The campaign will be launched later this year, but in the meantime, please tell us Made in Britain matters to you and visit our shop and support page where you can buy a range of specially branded or designed gifts as long as stocks last.
