Hockley Mint Celebrates Created in the UK

23 Nov 2022

 

1. Why did you sign-up for the Created in the UK scheme?

As a British manufacturer, we signed-up to further reassure our customers that our products are genuine, British-made goods. We are committed to investing in our UK operations and ensure that we look after our employees and their families for the future. This scheme helps us to differentiate from goods that are made overseas.

2. What benefits do you think it provides your customers?

Products with the Created in the UK mark can be easily differentiated from imports, emphasising their quality and support for the British jewellery industry. The support and service that backs up the product is second to none which gives confidence to the consumer. Also knowing they are promoting UK made goods has a sense of pride and commitment to the UK industries. 

3. Tell us about some of your jewellery that has been marked Created in the UK

We offer a large collection of bridal, occasional and everyday worn jewellery. We can also provide all aspects of manufacturing including casting, CAD/CAM, CNC and handmade.

4. How have you promoted the scheme to your customers?

We regularly promote our membership across all social media platforms as well as including the Created in the UK logo on applicable adverts in magazines and trade press. In addition, the branding accompanies us to every tradeshow we attend where it is a talking point with all prospective and existing customers.

5. What are your plans for Created in the UK over the next 12 months?

Hockley Mint have championed the Created in the UK and will continue to whenever possible and we will also begin taking marked products to tradeshows as examples for potential customers.

6. Why are you an NAJ member?

Recently UK businesses like Hockley Mint, supported by the ‘Created in the UK’ scheme, faced and overcame the challenges inflicted by Covid and Brexit, meeting changing consumer trends and filling the gap left by international supply shortages. UK jewellers are here to stay and being a ‘Created in the UK’ member promotes our support for the British jewellery industry and local craftsmanship.
