British Manufacturing is Resurgent and This Is Why They Should Be Your Only Option
The campaign for products ‘Made in Britain’ has been rumbling along for some time, but as we head for a new era in manufacturing, its message is more poignant as British manufacturers slowly begin to thrive again. What made British products great in the past has until recently been overshadowed by cost effective and fast solutions. Manufacturing in the east and in particular in China have enjoyed exponential growth due to the offer of cheap labour, allowing companies to produce at incredibly cheap prices. Demand has now shifted as consumers call for quality and innovation, which are factors which British manufacturers are well renowned for.
In particular, the quality of British products has been a consistent factor for decades in ensuring the popularity of British brands. Where manufacturers from abroad can be guilty of cutting corners in order to reduce costs, British manufacturer’s success is often built on reputation in the community. Most importantly, having a reputation for good quality products is an integral factor why consumers keep faith in their local British manufacturer.
Great materials can then be combined with great design. While British manufacturers cannot compete with the volume that manufacturers from abroad can ship out, they compensate for this with innovative, forward thinking designs which take advantage of a skilled and technologically advanced workforce. In many industries, the introduction of technology has transformed low paid jobs into skilled opportunities. A major issue in British manufacturing has been its failure to retain staff, but with the emergence of higher skilled, higher paid jobs, there is significantly more incentive for skilled workers to stay in the industry.
The locality of British manufacturers allows for collaboration and interaction which leads to developing a relationship over time. With manufacturers abroad, conversations often do not extend past the first visit to establish the quality of the factory. Instead, British manufacturers are often accommodating to custom requests and your order can be tailored to suit your specific needs. As well as this, language can be an often understated factor, however if something were to go wrong with the order, there is nothing more re-assuring than being able to converse with a native speaker.
Rather than having to compete with the rest of the world, British manufacturers have realised they can take advantage of the premium and specialist markets. With an educated and skilled work force, British manufacturers are creating innovative designs which not only streamline the manufacturing process, but also result in intuitive and unique designs. By combining creativity, computing, design and engineering expertise together, British manufacturers are gaining an edge in the new world order of manufacturing.
