Following the end of World War 2, Britain was in debt. So was the rest of the world. And there was a huge effort required to get the economy to recover. In the last two years, the pandemic has damaged the British economy along with the rest of the world. Along with the war in Ukraine the cost of energy and fuel has pushed up the cost of living. Interest rates have increased and we are still experiencing long delays at ports such as Dover and shops are struggling to fill shelves with goods from other countries. So it’s important that we continue to support British made brands, manufacturers, artisans and try to buy a British made alternative product whenever we can.
We hope you have a great 8th May VE Day however you choose to celebrate it. If you are feeling extra Patriotic, why not take a look at some of the Great British makers and products featured on our Made in Great Britain website?
