Number of Licensees
Licensing Scheme
British Wool’s licensing scheme continues to grow, with more brands and manufacturers choosing to champion 100% British wool. The scheme ensures that only genuine British wool products carry our trusted branding, giving consumers confidence in quality and provenance.
Through increased industry engagement, tailored support, and marketing opportunities, we are expanding our network of licensees across fashion, interiors, and new innovative products coming to market.
As demand for sustainable, natural fibres rises, more businesses are recognising the value of British wool, strengthening our industry.
There has also been a healthy increase in the number of brands buying traceable British wool and paying a premium over the auction price.
