As the Labour Party Conference kicks off this weekend, Made in Britain, a trade association that unites domestic manufacturers through the official Made in Britain Trademark, has issued a cross-party call for MPs to actively support local manufacturers.
The organisation is urging politicians from all political parties to discover, collaborate with, and promote manufacturers in their constituencies, while also advocating for policies that bolster the British manufacturing sector.
Made in Britain’s senior management team, including newly-elected Chairman Camilla Hadcock, will be attending the Labour, Conservative, and Liberal Democrat Party Conferences to spotlight the Made in Britain Trademark and its community of 2,100 manufacturers spread across the UK. Their presence aims to encourage MPs to take action through a focused three-point Call to Action:
Discover Your Local Manufacturers:
MPs are encouraged to identify and engage with manufacturers within their constituencies, recognising the significant role these companies play in driving local innovation, economic growth, and job creation. Made in Britain will assist MPs by providing a contact list of local manufacturers within a 20-mile radius of their constituency head offices, facilitating direct engagement and collaboration.
Champion Economic and Social Value (ESV):
MPs are called upon to advocate for policies that prioritise supply chain resilience, sustainability, and social responsibility within the manufacturing sector. Made in Britain emphasises the importance of British manufacturers in fostering a greener and more equitable economy, highlighting efforts to close the ‘circularity gap’ by encouraging the use of recycled and reusable materials and reducing reliance on virgin raw materials.
