Methodology

How the Directory is built.

A working list of UK factories that make clothing, kept current so your emails reach someone.

  1. No. 01

    Documented, not scraped

    Each factory is checked against UK business records and contacted directly. You get direct contact emails, not contact forms.

  2. No. 02

    Filed by what it makes

    Specialities, minimums and region for every factory, so you can shortlist by product and quantity before you write a single email.

  3. No. 03

    Refreshed every quarter

    Contacts and minimums are re-checked four times a year. Factories that close or stop replying are flagged and removed. Buy once, get every update.

Quarterly refreshWhat we re-check every quarter

  • Contact emailsRe-checked
  • MinimumsRe-checked
  • SpecialitiesRe-checked
  • Closed or silent factoriesFlagged and removed

Lifetimeaccess to every update

We document factories; we don’t audit or certify them. If you need GOTS, OEKO-TEX or GRS, ask each factory for a current certificate, or say so in a brief and we only place it with factories that can show one.

Which one?
