The Organisation
We bring together the British manufacturing community, united with the registered trademarks to help our members sell more of what they make. The Made in Britain and Made in Northern Ireland marks are protected and can only be used under licence by our members and strictly within the published Terms & Conditions.
As a not-for-profit organisation, supporting British manufacturers with the official trademarks, we work collaboratively with other UK trade bodies, relevant UK government departments and media channels, to promote high quality employment, responsible business and sustainable economic growth. We work tirelessly all year round to represent and promote British manufacturing.
The story of the Made in Britain trademark
Made in Britain began as a commercial marketing campaign in 2011. Prescot-based oven manufacturer, Stoves (member GDHA) launched a competition to design a logo for their newly-established product line promotion and campaign. When the winning mark was unveiled in 2011, British businesses flocked to apply to use the logo, with 100s of companies showing an interest. A new Made in Britain mark was commissioned, with Made in Britain officially launched as an independent, non-profit organisation in April 2013. Read more here. (wikipedia)
