Jacwicks Designs celebrates Made in UK Day.

To celebrate Made in UK Day, Jacwicks Designs is launching its new Union Jack Pocket Perch.

As the appetite to shop locally and support local businesses grows, Make it British, a community of UK-made brands and manufacturers, is calling on everyone to celebrate UK makers.

Make it British was founded on 9 March 2011 as a blog to champion all the wonderful products that are made in the UK.  To celebrate their 10 year anniversary 9 March this year, is Made in UK Day where you are encouraged to pledge to buy British.

Since its launch MIB has seen an increase in interest for UK made goods.  This year alone has seen a 68% increase in enquiries since the UK left the EU’s single market and customs union.

There has never been more important to buy products that are made in the UK and support local manufacturing.

As you may know all Perches are handmade in Co Durham.  They are not mass produced, they are of a high quality and well made.  Some designs have quite short runs which make them even more unique.  When possible additional help is sourced from a local social enterprise, Just for Women, which supports women and families in the region.

Fabric and sundries are sourced from UK businesses and every effort is made to ‘keep it local’ wherever possible.  When you buy from my UK business you are also supporting a whole chain of UK based businesses.   You are also lowering your carbon footprint, saving essential skills, helping local economies and creating job opportunities.

Our New Union Jack Pocket Perch enables you to fly the flag for UK business, find yours on the Pocket Perch page of the website.
If you saw last months Insights post you will have seen a photo of one of our lovely customers Kris sharing her favourite place to Perch.  I'm so thrilled to be able to bring you the taker of that photo Maggie, enjoying a well earned rest on her Pocket Perch.  Thank you so much for the lovely photos ladies, I absolutely love seeing customers favourite places to Perch. 

If you would like to share your favourite place to Perch, please take a photo and email me at ruth@jacwicksdesigns.co.uk  I look forward to seeing you.

Until next time, stay safe and Happy Perching!
