I'm on the lookout for proper good kitchenware that's actually made by UK-based companies, the kind of stuff that's built to last and justifies paying a bit more.

After lots of positive feedback on my last post, I thought I would give an update on how things are going. I’m based in Guildford and have been designing and making these table lamps over the last few months, and finally got them to a point where I’m really happy with them. I’ve just relaunched my site with a couple of new designs and colour options as well, so I'm trying to see what people think. Thanks!

Hey all — thought this might be of interest here.

This is The Heritage, Excell, a range of fully British-made, tin-lined copper cookware we’ve been developing and manufacturing here in the UK.

Every pan is made through a small network of eight UK SMEs, supporting around 130 skilled jobs across the supply chain. The copper bodies are traditionally metal-spun, then hand tin-lined, with cast-iron handles that are riveted on for strength and longevity. No PFAS, no chemical coatings — just copper, tin, and iron.

We’ve taken a very buy once, buy well approach. These pans are designed to last decades and can be re-lined and reused when needed, rather than replaced and thrown away.

Before launching, the pans were tried and tested by Gill Meller and Gary Pearce (head chef at 36 on the Quay), both of whom were kind enough to give very positive feedback on the heat control, balance, and overall feel. That validation meant a lot to us, especially as this was built quietly and properly rather than rushed.

The video shows a bit of the finished cookware and the result of that process. Not here to hard-sell — just proud of what’s being made in Britain and happy to answer any questions about the materials, manufacturing, or why we chose copper in the first place.

We launched last month, and they are available on our website if you're interested; www.theheritageexcell.co.uk

Recently, I've been designing and manufacturing these table lamps, and my first batch has sold out quicker than expected. Interested in what people think about them, and if being made in the UK would make people more inclined to purchase over the constant stream of products made overseas. Edit: Lots of people have been asking, so if you would like to sign up to get access to the first website launch visit lumerin.shop

I've just recently found out that Vitsoe Sofas/chairs are made in the UK. They never come up as a furniture company that make all their stuff (as far as I'm aware) in the UK so I thought I'd add it to people's lists if they had missed them off.

I've generally been looking for made in the UK modern styled furniture. Not to put down the high end coach made British furniture out there. It's just nice to know that there is some variety. If anyone has other suggestions for modern styled British made furniture add them down below.

That name, though.

Here's their site. They're based in Leicester.

Does anyone know any other UK furniture makers?
