Here at The Sporting Lodge we are passionate about our history and our roots which are firmly based in Britain. We try wherever possible to source products, manufacturers or individuals that are British based to carry British heritage and manufacturing that has always been renowned throughout the world.
With the sad news constantly in our media regarding the demise of British manufacturing, we are always striving to support British manufacturing – whether this be from existing mills, small manufacturing outlets, or even the much loved British garden shed. We have the knowledge, products and the talent all based on our small island but are constantly up against fast growing economies who can churn out millions of products at a vastly cheaper price with a huge workforce but do not supply the quality which Britain is renowned for.
Are times changing? Yes they are. Customers from all over the world even in the far flung reaches are realising British products are made with attention to detail, quality fabrics and with a workforce that is treated fairly and produce consistently a quality finished product. Buying British supports our beleaguered industry for future years and keeps Britain firmly on the map and in the minds of those who do not reside on our fair isle.
This October, we’re celebrating Buy British Day, for our fantastic British brands – including Brady, Barbour, Purdey, and The Sporting Lodge.
