In Britain, there are so many reasons to be proud to be British or to live in Britain, from being able to access our amazing NHS, to our extremely high safety standards. After the business disruption caused by the COVID pandemic and the resultant impact on our economy, there is now even more reason to support British businesses but there are also many other reasons to buy from British companies.

At The Tipi Company, we are very proud to be a British based company and to uphold the highest standards when we manufacture and test our products. We know it is essential to oversee every aspect of the manufacturing and testing process in factories in Britain, so we know the quality is never compromised. Our products display the Made in Britain marque, which was awarded to recognise that our whole manufacturing process is completed in Britain.

Many companies try to reduce their production costs by outsourcing manufacturing to countries such as China and other Asian countries where labour costs are lower. These are the reasons we would never do that:

• We are able to contribute more to the British economy by keeping all of our manufacturing chain in Britain.
• We are able to employ a full team of expert technicians and seamstresses, making sure there are more jobs kept in the UK.
• By manufacturing all our tipis in our factory in Bolton, Lancashire, we know that we can fully control the quality, design, material purchases and quality inspection.
• There are no delays due to shipping problems or issues caused by importing and exporting products.
• We keep our CO² emissions low as we are not transporting goods back from Asia or other countries around the world.
• We can ensure that our customers quickly receive their products, as they are being delivered from Lancashire around the UK, rather than requiring shipping from abroad.
• Our Made in Britain marque shows our customers the exceptional level of quality that they are purchasing.

These are just some of the reasons why we are committed to producing all of our products in the UK and why we will never be tempted to cut costs by outsourcing to foreign countries.

Next time you are considering buying a product, check where it is manufactured and see whether you can support local businesses in the UK instead of China and other mass manufacturing countries.

In Britain, businesses need to stick together and support each other so that we can collectively get back on track and work together towards a brighter future, or ‘Build back better’, which is the term coined by the government for their plans for growth.
