As if this weren't enough to persuade people to buy British, the site lists ten reasons to ‘Make it British'.

COURSES

Founder of the site, Nicky Sherwood is always on the hunt for great British producers and it's well worth visiting the FromBritainWithLove.com blog, highlighting all her latest discoveries. This site is a great connector of customer and producer, but also encourages visitors to create themselves. Courses listed online cover Art & Craft courses, Interiors, Fashion, Food & Drink and many more, encouraging Brits to make, create and mend for themselves. After years of looking out to countries abroad, Britain is finally beginning to appreciate itself and it's wealth of talent, and this is largely thanks to the support of sites like this - be sure to pay it a visit.
