Kate is fantastic! The experience and connections she has built over the years is truly impressive and you can tell how passionate she is - not only about UK manufacturing but also about helping other businesses and individuals. When it comes to manufacturing in Britain and what is required for success, Kate is the perfect partner. Her online webinars are clear and detailed which are very helpful for building confidence in the many decisions we have to make as business owners! Thanks for all your help and advice Kate.

It has sure been a ride and a half! I simply can't thank nor sing Kate Hill's praises enough... I have learnt so much and gained so much working with and taking the Make it British Acceleration Course. It was worth every penny. It literally covers everything you need to know and has your back at the same time. Simply loved it and totally recommend it xxx

Make It British is a great company. A workshop Kate was hosting back in April 2022 was recommended to me on Instagram and found it great and insightful on the information that was provided to both aspiring entrepreneurs and established small brands. I signed up to the British Brand Accelerator programme in May 2022, left in December 2023 and it has been a tremendous help for me and my journey to launching my business. The amount of quality information you'll learn on the course is unmatched, I learnt so much, felt supported and was encouraged with Kate's help. Without her help and vast knowledge on the manufacturing and business industry, I would not have come this far with my business, she helped me to turn a dream/thought into a reality.

If you also have dreams of launching a business, I highly recommend getting in touch with Kate to find out more and joining her programme, it is worth it if you truly believe in yourself, your idea and business.

Working with Kate has been such a brilliant experience her help, support and wisdom whilst setting up my UK made brand has been invaluable. Being part of The British Brand Accelerator community stopped me from feeling isolated and overwhelmed by the task ahead. Knowing that like minded people were facing similar challenges made it all seem possible. Thanks Kate & everyone who shared their time with me on BBA. Onwards & upwards. Lx

I have been a member of the British Brand Accelerator program for a year, and I honestly can't recommend it highly enough. I was in the position of bringing production back from China, having been working with an agency, and looking at re-sourcing everything from scratch. I was very wary about putting my trust and money in the hands of “experts” again… But joining Kate’s British Brand Accelerator program was honestly the best decision I ever made!!
Kate puts absolutely everything into the BBA and her energy and passion is so inspiring - I can't thank her enough, as there is no way my business would be where it is now without her. She offers everything from the practical tips, networking connections for suppliers and manufacturers, and puts so much personal effort in to supporting you.
There is a vast amount of information in the member portal – from all the recordings of past workshops, to templates and tools for everything from product costing calculations to workflow and marketing. Then of course there is all of Kate’s knowledge of the industry and her network of reliable contacts – which she will introduce you too once you are prepared. The live co-working sessions, group coaching, 1-2-1 calls and the supportive community of other BBA members have made such a difference in my ability and confidence to run my business. Kate has also helped with an overall mindset – the confidence to try new things, to start small, to bootstrap where you can and test everything – she is very practical and the financial/cash flow management tips have also been super helpful.
If you are looking at starting a business manufacturing in the UK and want some support, send Kate an email now - you won't regret it!

Kate Hills at Make It British is the ultimate powerhouse if you're looking for coaching and mentorship to manufacture in the UK.

Her knowledge base, skill set and connections around the UK manufacturing industry is unrivalled.

If you have hit a road block in your own small business, whatever the quandary, with Kate at your side, you will overcome your challenges.

It has been the best time and financial investment in my own business to date.

Thank you Kate for being such a wonderful advocate for making it British and for your support for one of our long term partners recently to find their way through the loss of a big supplier. It was reassuring to know where to turn and you were wonderful!
