SleepBreeze Ltd joins British Made for Quality

With so much of our product being manufactured in Britain we'd been looking around for a "Made in Britain" logo. Well, a Google search wasn't encouraging.

Possibly a reflection of the almost knee-jerk move in recent years to manufacture in the Far East? Try sourcing some components from anywhere but the Far East and you'll struggle.

But where there is a choice - components exclusive to our product - we've always chosen to manufacture in Britain. As I reported in August the downside of Far East sourcing is that the quality is sometimes not there. Forget the "product miles" for a second. From a purely practical point of view surely it makes sense to be able to visit your suppliers if they are based just a few miles down the road!

We were, therefore, pleased to learn about and be accepted as members of an organisation called British Made for Quality.

Call me old fashioned. Or maybe it was nearly 20 years working in the UK MoD on behalf of servicemen. Perhaps its the photo we keep in the office of my brother at "The Palace" receiving his OBE. Or maybe Simon Bates just played "Jerusalem" on ClassicFM. But there's something that just "feels right" about being able to put a Red, White and Blue logo on to our product.
