| Sustainability is high on the agenda with many organisations today. Choosing products from UK manufacturers is a trend that has been increasing over the last decade as companies aim to lower their carbon footprint. |
| |
| Buying from local manufacturers has huge advantages that will create a positive environmental impact and provide a reliable and flexible experience. |
| |
Why You Should Buy UK Made Merchandise |
| |
1. Environmental Impact |
| |
| A pressing environmental issue is the Climate Crisis. A main cause for this is increasing carbon emissions a reduction of which, will slow down rising temperatures and sea levels, improve public health and maintain plant and animal diversity. |
| |
| Buying locally from UK based manufacturers means carbon emissions will be reduced by avoiding air cargo. The IATA says that 2% of global emissions are created from air cargo. Cutting down air pollution and greenhouse gases is a great reason to buy locally. |
| |
2. Opportunity to Support the UK Economy |
| |
| When you can support our local economy and aid economic growth, why wouldn’t you? Economic growth works towards raising incomes, reducing poverty, lowering unemployment and increasing life expectancy. |
| |
| In the UK, we have a rich infrastructure of talent and innovation, so supporting our economy is a crucial factor for retaining our world recognised industries. |
| |
3. Flexibility and the Ability to React Quickly |
| |
| Local suppliers can react faster due to their awareness of the local market; if there is an issue that can create a delay, they can be adaptive and work to finalise an effective solution in real time, without the barrier of time differences. |
| |
| This is a fundamental benefit because the flexibility they offer means they’ll react to supply and demand in the market. |
| |
4. Quick Turnaround Times |
| |
| Some projects are required to be delivered with short time frames. UK manufacturers can produce and transport products quicker because there are no delays with Customs. Adding this into the mix, the experience of buying local is hard to beat. |
| |
5. Low Minimum Order Quantities |
| |
| As many organisations know, order quantities can vary for different projects. For example, a boutique event may only require 100 high-end gifts for the dignitaries in attendance. |
|
| Ordering from a local supplier means that lower quantities are catered for versus international sourcing where the minimum order quantities are typically higher. |
| |
