I know of Icetech (Norfrost) and Stoves(Belling New World) but do Hotpoint make anything over here?
Has anyone got a definitive list of what’s what as I want to let customers know and it could make interesting reading.
As an aside I sold a Amica, as featured in another thread, and it was Chinese so hoping it lasts but it has got a 2 year guarantee but very disappointed after all I told the customer 😳
RobRe: Is anything made in the Uk now?
Even when appliances where “made in the UK” most of the components where imported into the assembly plant, sometimes even the metal was imported.
So very few for the last few decades actually got made here.
I keep hearing the experts stating that although the UK has very little manufacturing we do produce some of the best design and engineering people and that losing the plants isn’ t that bad, problem is the countries that have the plants have been investing heavily into education of there people, so that they can then develop a full package, cheaper again.
So soon we’ll be producing some of the highest educated unemployed people in the world to eventually work alongside the assembly workers now employed in Asda.
