I love it every time a new Kate podcast pops into my library, backed up by her Sunday Journal. An inspiring and informative source for every level of business person, you always gain something thanks to her unwavering dedication to promote and develop all things British.

I’ve listened to a number of these to support my emerging brand vision. Kate is engaging, informative and her conviction is catching! Overall an accessible and honest podcast, supportive to anyone keen to learn about and/or collaborate with manufacturers based in the UK

Just listened to ep261 and sincerely appreciated the hard-won advice provided, esp about letting go of projects that undermine focusing on our most valuable priorities.

Kate brings invaluable knowledge and experience to new fashion startups, love the content
kfellows86 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/22/23
This is such a wonderful podcast that needs to have the widest possible audience. The U.K. manufacturing sector could do so much better - one only needs to look at Japan or Germany. Kate is doing a fantastic job to educate, network and wave the flag…. Thank you Kate for this wonderful resource...Read full review »

The best advice for anyone looking to set up a business in the U.K. With little help out there, this podcast simplifies and clearly demonstrates useful tips to excel in such a complex system.

Kate puts in such effort to these podcasts. Her own manufacturing knowledge is sublime but the invitations of interesting guests and panels for the MIB podcast, keeps all of the content fresh and up to date. My favourite episode so far has been #125 with Labour Behind the Labour, in relation to...Read full review »

I love this podcast and it’s been absolutely invaluable as I have started my British manufacturing journey. I want to make a difference but without Kate’s insights I would have stumbled many times already. My favourite episode (so far) has been the margin and markup episode (number 170) (who knew...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Kate’s podcast for a couple of years and have found it extremely useful, especially from a manufacturers point of view.

This podcast is a great source of information on all topics related to garment manufacturing in the UK. Every episode has something relevant for your business, even if the topic isn’t specific to your business.

Kate is a force to be reckoned with. Doing an amazing job promoting and helping Brit made businesses. I’m yet to launch mine but will soon, fingers crossed, and I’ve learned a lot from these podcasts. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of interviewing Kate for a feature I am writing about the state of the British garment manufacturing sector post Covid-19.

I’ve listened to these podcasts from the very beginning and love what Kate and her team have achieved. Kate highlights so many fascinating businesses and people and champions all those who are helping to boost British manufacturing.
alfie greenwood via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/04/20
Highly recommanded for anyone who is part or starts out in fashion/textiles in the UK. Kate gives great insight into the workings, history and networks that make the textiles industries in the UK by simply letting the people who make the great brands and run the factories tell their stories...Read full review »

Kate’s been there since the beginning of my journey in fashion. From the early days of the Meet the Manufacturer trade shows to this podcast.

I enjoy listening to this in my workshop, it both informs and inspires in equal measure!, Kate has a natural enthusiasm for business, and a charming conversional style!

The one woman mission is admirable. Prefer the more direct podcasts! Long preamble to this one before getting to the relevant info. Love the podcasts though, keep them going!

Embarking on a new business in textile manufacturing & homeware. These are really giving me a great deal to think about. Thank you for all your hard work & sharing your experience.

I am loving the podcasts, while gardening over the weekend I caught up on the last couple of months.

RedRedgrove via Apple Podcasts · France · 01/29/19
I’ve been spending the last few months researching and planning to launch my own product. Whilst I always knew I wanted it to be as much as possible (hopefully 100%) made in Britain I knew there were several hurdles I needed to jump. Whilst I’ve been speaking to entrepreneurs and doing as much...Read full review »

Great listen for many reasons - I signed up to Make it British when it first started (and was called something else) - it is a fine idea and I 've really enjoyed hearing about all these people making things, not seen, not often heard about. It has changed my outlook. Also really helped - as...Read full review »

Kate is so helpful, the bitesize chunks have helped me guide my way through launching a new product.

I have loved the idea of the 5 day podcasts. Still one to go, but thank you; I feel like I have been on a mini course - which I could have done with approximately three months ago! The best thing is that all the key aspects have been broken down and whilst I had considered many, it’s good to hear...Read full review »

I listened to 016 and 017 so far being part of the Manufacturing challenge.

Kate is so knowledgable and really knows how to bring out the most useful information from each guest she has on. Each podcast is crammed with information which is so galvanising to the fact we need to bring British manufacturing back. And two a week to listen to!! Jeez when do you sleep!! Love it
ukmumlife via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/18/18
Kate is beginning to succeed where so many successive UK Government's have tried and failed; to build a credible grassroots founded, business benefit focussed organisation which champions UK manufacturing. Not because it's Gov't policy but because it makes business sense. I hope this...Read full review »
