Velopresso was proud to be asked to represent the Made in Britain campaign organisation at the Best of Britannia show in Shoreditch, London. Trike 001, decked out with illustrations by Daisy Hirst, ‘was a great talking point and got lots of interest’ from visitors and exhibitors alike. When we say Velopresso is conceived, designed and made in Britain, that doesn’t mean every single part is made here, but around 90% of them are. Local manufacture hits several buttons for us: we’re using and supporting the incredible skills of the UK engineering industry; we’re making the most of the quality, price, and control this gives us; we’re paying back – in small part – the generous support and expertise these same engineering companies gave us while we were prototyping; and we’re reducing the carbon footprint of our production process. For us, the Made in Britain marque testifies not only to the provenance of Velopresso, but also to the strong relationships we’ve built with all those involved in its design and manufacture.
