Take a look on the Think Hire website, and you’ll see that many of our core products, such as our Solartainer solar powered generator, carry the Made in Britain logo. The quarter flag logo is a common sight on a wide range of goods, but what does it mean, what does it stand for, and does it make a difference?

What is Made in Britain?

‘British made’ has been a source of pride for UK manufacturers for centuries. Britain was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in the 1760s, and we have led the way in quality manufacturing ever since. Made in Britain is more than just a detail, it means a great deal to manufacturers and consumers alike. 

According to the organisation’s website, ‘Made in Britain’ is a fast-growing community of like-minded manufacturers from all around the UK, who want to make it really clear to buyers and consumers that their products are made right here in the UK, to the very highest standards.

The Made in Britain flag logo is recognised around the country as a sign of high-quality manufacturing. The nationwide Buying British survey found that 80% of UK companies recognise the logo and understand what it means in terms of quality assurance. 

The Made in Britain marque is also respected around the world as a sign of quality. The Barclays Made in Britain report found that an average of 39% of global consumers thought that British made products were of a better quality, rising to two thirds of customers in two of the biggest global markets, Indian and China. US customers are so impressed with the Made in Britain concept that they are prepared to pay an extra 10% for goods bearing the union flag marque.

Made in Britain supports the economy

The Made in Britain marque supports a huge manufacturing sector in the UK, worth £518billion per year to the UK economy. It also supports 7.3million manufacturing jobs right across the country. And by making our solar powered generator range in Britain, we’re supporting the environment too. 

Because our solar powered generator is made in Britain, they are manufactured to a higher standard, which means it performs more efficiently and effectively to deliver maximum environmental benefits and cost savings to our customers. They are also built better to last longer, reducing the need for the raw materials and the energy used to make replacements.

Better still, because we make our solar powered generator right here in the UK, we keep their carbon footprint to a minimum. When it comes to delivering our solar powered generator, there are no emissions from international shipping, and no lorries needed to transport them to and from the docks. 

We make your solar powered generators right here where you want to use them, so there are no long lead times while we wait for imported units to arrive. What’s more, we deliver them using our own fleet of sustainable, electric vehicles, with zero emissions, to cut their carbon footprint even further. 

Proud to be British
