British Wool operates a brand partner scheme, which helps consumers to easily identify products with a genuinely high content of British wool.

Our manufacturing partners join our scheme, so we vet each product through the entire supply chain to ensure the products have a high British wool content.

NEXT STEPS...

In order to qualify for the new scheme, a brand will need to submit the list of product ranges you wish to be considered for partner status.

Our details will be entered on to our on-line system, which will automatically contact the relevant people in the supply chain to fully vet the British wool content of the individual product ranges.

This information is held on a secure server and is managed by a professional third party data warehousing company. No-one else in the supply chain (including British Wool) has access to this information.

Once the product has satisfied the criteria, we will contact you to confirm and supply the relevant marketing collateral.
