Made in Britain

Ever since 1921 when Harold Stanier (my grandad) began our family business, just about everything New House has made has been made in Britain.

The only time we go overseas it's usually to Sweden. This is because there are few world-class specialist manufacturers of roller-blind fabric, and because we feel so comfortable with our Swedish chums at Almedahls-Kinna when we talk design. Many of our homewares come from Almedahls too.

However we'll always have as many items made in Britain as we can, and the other day I was with Jerry in Gloustershire, who hand-makes our wood child safety devices. Jerry didn't mind me taking a few pics :
