Deborah Meadon backs UK manufacturing

Deborah Meadon and Douglas Cordeaux who own the 'Fox Brothers Mill' in Somerset which makes luxury wollen cloth. When they first brought the mill it had an emplye base of 18 since then they have trained staff vital manufacturing skills, the mill since employed 500 staff. 


Deborah saw the gap in the market for luxury goods to match the British produced cloth, the brand 'Merchant Fox' was born. Using only British Manufacturing and its variety of craftsmanship. 


A quote from Deborah and why UK manufacturing is important 
'We have a very good heritage and history of making things in this country. What we do well is something that is traditional, but presented in a very relevant, modern way.'


Deborahs quote matches my opinion of how retailers need to start thinking, that there is many Britain Craftsmanship e.g. Tweed, Wood carving etc that has outstanding quality that needs to be supported and brought back into our shops.
