At British Wool, our mission is to create a quality mark, recognised by consumers for superior product performance while creating a fairer deal for producers.

We work on behalf of producers to maximise the returns received for their wool, adding value through grading, and minimising the risk of price volatility by selling wool on behalf of producers at auctions throughout the year.
