n-demand T shirt printer Tshirtify has signed up to become a member of
Founded in September 2016 by husband and wife team Richard and Kerry Flanagan, the company was built to support creative entrepreneurs and influencers seeking new opportunities for their brands and the impact it can make.
Ms Flanagan explained: “We joined Make It British to be part of a community of like-minded manufacturers in UK. Weʼre always on the lookout for future collaborations and ideas about how we can improve the services we offer and the MIB Facebook group is a great platform for
us to be able to share stories and get inspired by what the other members post about their businesses. At the moment all our print services are UK based and one of our goals in 2018 is to offer our clients a UK made garment also. Weʼve connected with several suppliers through Make It British to make this happen. “Weʼre very proud of the independent UK based business weʼve built and to have the Make It British endorsement is great. It just gives that extra confirmation to our clients that our supply chain is sustainable and traceable.”
Make it British is the source of information on British-made brands and UK manufacturing.
Visitors in their hundreds attend
Over the years, word has spread, and with more exhibitors joining the shows, each show is now seeing visitors in the hundreds, ranging from new to existing customers. Joined by TheMagicTouch, Wilcom Europe, Madeira, DecoNetwork and Glenway Products, there is something for everyone within the decorative garment and textiles industry.
The next shows are Tuesday, May 15 at The Exeter Racecourse and Thursday, May 17 at The Novotel Hotel, Southampton.
