Made in Britain
Our Commitment to British Materials and Manufacturing
At Anglia Sign Casting, we believe that how something is made is just as important as what is made. We’re proud to announce we're now a licence‑holding member of Made in Britain. From sourcing raw materials such as recycled bronze and aluminium right here in the UK, to blending traditional sand‑casting and hand‑finishing techniques passed down through generations, we’re committed to preserving British craftsmanship.
By joining Made in Britain, we’re:
- Supporting local industry and keeping our environmental footprint lower.
- Championing time‑honoured foundry skills.
- Giving our customers even greater confidence in the quality and provenance of what they trust us to deliver.
Why British Materials Matter
In today’s global market, it can be tempting to source cheaper materials from overseas. But for us, choosing British is not just a preference, it is a principle. By sourcing raw materials like bronze and aluminium from UK suppliers, we support local industry, keep our environmental footprint lower, and ensure that our quality standards remain consistently high.
Supporting British Craftsmanship
We are proud to promote and protect traditional British foundry skills and hand-finishing techniques that have been passed down through generations. Every sign that leaves our workshop reflects hours of expert work, from pattern making and sand casting to fettling, patinating and final finishing by hand.
When you choose Anglia Sign Casting, you are not only getting a durable and beautifully made product - you are also supporting the preservation of essential skills within the British manufacturing industry.
Sustainability
Sustainability is built into our process from the ground up. The bronze ingots we use are made entirely from recycled metals, refined and treated to achieve the high-grade bronze required for our plaques. This gives new life to existing materials and guarantees the standard of durability and finish that our customers rely on.
We also take pride in how we manage our sand casting process. The majority of the sand we use is remixed and reused daily, meaning we only need to top it up with fresh sand occasionally. This approach reduces waste, lowers our resource consumption, and helps us operate with greater environmental responsibility.
