6 Benefits of Working with a UK Manufacturer

There is a high demand for British Manufacturing as more and more companies and retailers seek the ‘Made in the UK’ stamp of quality to add to their products.

Here are some of the benefits of working with manufacturers based in the UK:

1. Fast Turn-Around

When buying from overseas manufacturers, lead times can often be lot longer due to the time it takes to get the goods to you. When working on a new and bespoke product with manufacturers, research and development will be more streamlined due to better communications.

2. Smaller MOQs

By working with a UK manufacturer, minimum order quantities are likely to be lower in number due to not having to fill ship containers for shipping goods overseas. This gives you more flexibility when placing orders.

3. Cheaper Delivery Costs

Delivery of goods will likely be cheaper than transporting good overseas, meaning you can save money where delivery is concerned. If the manufacturer is within driving distance, you could even collect the goods yourself.

4. Improved Communication

When working with an overseas manufacturer, communication can often be delayed due to language barriers or time difference. Good communication leads to good working relationships, which is always good for business. So being able to have face to face meetings and clear two-way communications are just a couple of the benefits working with a UK manufacturer.

5. ‘Made in the UK’ Appeal

The majority of consumers are willing to pay even more for a product that is ‘Made in the UK’ because Great Britain is considered a quality supplier all around the world.

6. Support the UK Economy

Supporting the UK economy, buying local or buying British helps to create employment across the country, and helps to save UK jobs that face risks due to events such as Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic.
