6 Benefits of UK Manufactured PPE

During the uncertain times of both Brexit and Covid-19, at Medisave we are finding that both suppliers and customers alike have a preference for a "Made in Britain" or "Made in the UK" stamp. As a UK based supplier, we are proud to support UK manufacturers where we can and stock a range of PPE bearing the UK stamp. Below we have listed 6 benefits to UK manufactured PPE, along with an example of UK manufactured products we sell including Type IIR face masks and alcohol hand sanitisers.

1. Quicker turnaround

Simply put, with less distance to travel after production, the delivery is significantly reduced. Consumers get the product they`re after faster, and we can provide more concrete delivery dates, while beating competitors to market.

2. Lower carbon footprint

At Medisave we`re ever growing in looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint. This includes eco friendly paper for flyers we send out, reducing the annual output of the physical Medisave catalogue, using eco friendly packing tape and material, and using UK manufacturers where possible. With UK manufacturing, we are reducing the distance travelled meaning less fuel, and less damage to the environment.

3. Supporting local economy

Supporting UK manufactures helps the UK economy run and grow. Instead of jobs needing to be cut due to outsourcing, we help keep manufactures in business providing a wide array of jobs to the country, from the factory workers to delivery drivers.

4. Ability to see production and quality

With factories and production being more local, we are able to visit and see the true quality of the products on offer, and disregard the ones we are not happy with. With more flexibility, we are able to ensure products are to the highest standard, and meet certain regulations when needed.

5. Even better customer care

Supplying UK manufactured products means we have easy access to the manufacturer themselves to ask questions or gain official documentation related to the products. As we are part of the time zone so there is less delay in response if we, or a customer, has a query on the UK made products.

6. Stable supply line

Because the products are manufactured in the UK, it means there are no ports or customs to clear. This saves on cost, time and confidence as we know there won't be delays from manufacturer to ourselves, and ourselves onto you. Find a selection of UK manufactured PPE below.
