"The weekly virtual meet ups for the members of the Make it British Community are so helpful. They have provided excellent guest speakers with mini workshops on current information such as marketing on Pinterest, Instagram and other social networks. There have also been fantastic speakers about wholesaling, ways to streamline one's business."

"Our last competition attracted a whopping 4,000+ entrants and over 1,000 opt-ins to our mailing list. More than 18 months on, we’ve retained the majority of these subscribers who show a high open and click-through rate. Given that e-mail marketing is such an effective promotion strategy, the competition feature alone justifies our annual membership."

"I joined Make it British 6 weeks ago after being recommended by another business and it's been great. It's worth it for me just based on the number of referrals that are coming to my website. But on top of that the weekly Zoom meetings run by Kate and networking with other members has been an invaluable resource."

"My wife and I had an idea of a business we wanted to set up. We knew it would be in fashion and that we wanted to make it in the UK but we had zero experience in textiles. 
Being able to chat and pick Kate’s brains has been super-helpful . Validation from someone who knows what they’re talking about. 
After doing the course I’ve got a much more detailed know..." Read more

"I had no experience of manufacturing, so when I needed help and advice I reached out to Make it British and Kate was amazing! She inspired me to pursue - despite all the hard work and has been very helpful along the way. Highly recommended."

"I wish I’d done it 18 months ago! It’s given me a really good framework to build upon. It has given me a lot more confidence. When I first went to manufacturers I knew I was a smalll fish - but then we did the course and we got a lot slicker and we went to the manufacturers prepared and they started to talk to us. It really works!"

"Linking up with Make it British was probably the best thing we ever did. It has totally changed the way we think about manufacturing and most importantly our customers are actually buying from us because it's British-made and because we're badged with Make it British."

"What a fabulous event - sure there were a few glitches and pages needed refreshing etc., and some speakers difficult to hear but on the whole it was a great experience. The whole Team worked so hard and as it was the first time this had been done, it couldn't have been better. Well done"

"Up to now your service has been really exciting. I have learned so much about waste, regarding fabric, I just need to know who has what waste and how do I get it. I am involved with period poverty and want to set up workshops in towns all over Britain making knickers for the kids and women who can't afford them. Raise awareness, offer the skills to help."

"The Make It British Virtual Show was a great event, with lots of information and knowledgeable speakers. The event overall really ran smoothly, and we connected with lots of new potential customers. The speed networking was something we have never done before, but thought this was a great addition and would highly recommend. Thanks to Kate and the Team!"

"As a small brand making homeware and accessories in the UK, it's great to know that Kate & the Make it British team are championing British manufacturing. The recent online Make it British Live! event was all about community spirit, adapting to change & why manufacturing in the UK now is more important than ever."

"When covd hit I was disappointed that a live show would not happen but Kate and her team put on great event with the opportunity of feeling you were there. The replay is useful. I had missed a few of the sessions. Speed networking was fun. In future it could be a little longer to enable getting details.. It kept freezing so I lost contacts. 5* all round"
