THE UMBRELLA COMPANY - MADE IN SHEFFIELD
Friday, January 14, 2011
WE HAVE THE BIRTH MARK TO PROVE IT!
Some great things have come out of Sheffield, no really there has been some crackers; Arctic Monkeys, Def Leopard, Pulp; films like The Full Monty, political clout like...erm...Nick Clegg...(anyway moving swiftly on) and of course Umbrellas.
Sheffield is the umbrella capital of the UK, ever since local lad Samuel Fox invented the golf umbrella in the 1800’s out of good old Sheffield Steel, cottage industries popped up covering these said frames. But out of all of these great Sheffield things only one of us holds THE MADE IN SHEFFIELD brand mark - The Umbrella Company.
Sheffield is still world renowned for manufacturing and we are “chuffed to bits” to carry the brand mark. Only 150 companies qualify and we are even put forward for a Made in Sheffield award to be announced in March 2011.
Watch out for the Made in Sheffield (r) mark to appear on our UK manufactured umbrellas, including The Spectrum, Bedford and Fibrestorm. Proving that not only are you, as distributors, supplying the very best goods but also supporting British manufacturing – a real Full Monty!
Come to see us for a chat and a preview of our brand new distributor website at the Trade Only Show, stand J30.
