We’re pleased to announce that we are now members of the Made in Britain organisation!
With Link51 originally set up 70 years ago in the heart of England’s industrial ‘Black Country’, we’re proud to say that the same factory is still producing our shelving today.
Whittan is home to seven trusted brands, all of which manufacture storage solutions across our four factories in the UK and our one factory in Spain – allowing us to provide the same great service for our European customers too. Ultimately, this means that we’re never far away from you and your site.
There are many benefits to buying from UK based businesses. The biggest perk of buying locally is that it reduces your carbon footprint, as the products don’t have to travel as far to reach you. This also means much shorter lead times, less risk in the supply chain and better customer service overall. So, no more worrying about delays or disruptions to your timeline – we’ll make it as quick and easy as possible for you to get your order!
In addition, buying from us means you're supporting a business that will provide jobs for British people and this will, therefore, support the wider UK economy too. We’re proud to have been supporting British businesses and British people for over 70 years, you can read more about that in our 70th anniversary article HERE.
Our solutions are in line with British standard requirements, SEMA Codes of Practice and British Safety Council Certifications, and to top it off, we are now members of the well trusted organisation, Made in Britain.
Made in Britain brings together the British manufacturing community, united with the use of the registered collective mark. This offers buyers reassurance that members of Made in Britain meet the criteria they set to guarantee the member is a British manufacturer.
Publishing British manufacturing news from members and with a directory full of British businesses, Made in Britain is a great resource for those wanting to support British businesses. You can find our profile page HERE.
So, you can choose Whittan with extra confidence now, safe in the knowledge that our products are high quality, you’re supporting a British business, supporting the British economy and minimising your impact on the environment too!
