The Campaign to "Keep Manufacturing in Britain"

Britain's manufacturing industry - once the envy of the world – has been in steep decline for the several decades, and is now in freefall.

Manufacturing jobs continue to disappear every week, as companies fail to gain their promised bank support and are forced to "downsize", liquidate, move their production offshore, or simply sink under the ever growing mountain of largely unnecessary EU-instigated bureaucracy.

More than a million and a half British jobs have been lost since 1997. Imports – still largely sourced from China and the Asian bloc – continue to fill the shops, and in spite of a recent rally toward Britishness few of the products on sale in Britain are actually made here.

British Made for Quality (BMFQ) campaigns to keep manufacturing in Britain. We publicise the continuing decline in manufacturing, highlight ways in which this decline can be reversed, and lobby those in power to support the nation’s manufacturing industry.

BMFQ acts as YOUR voice in what has become a hostile, anti-manufacturing environment. We invite you to join our ranks and add your weight to our efforts.

Companies that manufacture in the UK may – if they join BMFQ – use our registered trademark to clearly identify their products as British-made, allowing customers to make an informed choice.

The more informed the buying public becomes, the greater the chance of a British manufacturing revival!

Survey after survey has reported that over 80% of consumers would prefer to buy British products if given the choice.

If you share our beliefs please join us. We rely on the BMFQ membership for funds and cannot continue our campaign without your support.

Chinese economy slowest for 17 months

A slowdown in Chinese manufacturing in July is reflected  in its slowest growth for 17 months, hard on the heels of Chinese claims to have overtaken Japan as the world's second biggest economy.

Government measures to crack down on property speculation and close energy inefficient businesses to meet climate change objectives were cited as a major factor for the cooling down.

Economists had been anticipating a weakening in the key barometer, the Purchasing Managers' Index but the fall from 52.1 in June to 51.2 – anything over 50 shows expansion – was greater than forecast in a Bloomberg poll. Out of 11 measures only employment showed an improvement.
