In response to President Trump's new tariffs on imported goods, UK manufacturing organization Made in Britain has noted a 20% increase in membership applications. The tariffs, which included a general 10% increase and specific rates on steel and automobiles, have spurred businesses to emphasize British manufacturing. John Pearce, the CEO, noted a direct correlation between the tariffs and the upswing in membership, highlighting a growing trend towards celebrating homegrown products. The organization, which maintains high standards for its members, supports a broader 'buy British' campaign and advocates for stronger labeling and promotion of local goods.
"Since the tariffs, more businesses are focused on British manufacturing representation and promotion, so we've seen a real upswing in applications."
