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.

Due to the current situation surrounding COVID-19, it is unlikely that overseas shearers will be available in the UK for the 2020 season. British Wool is working with other industry organisations to address a potential shortage of shearers this year - read more here.

NEWS

British Wool pricing update As British Wool enters its 70th year of operation the UK, and indeed the world, faces the most severe recession in its history due to the Covid-19 epidemic. The global market for cross bred wool has been shut since February and remains closed. February to May is normally the busiest selling period of the year. As a result we have circa 9m kgs of unsold stock out of a total 2019/20 clip of 27m kgs.
