Us Brits are notoriously polite, even in the face of absolute chaos. We’re the nation that apologises to inanimate objects, and judges a person by the biscuit they dunk in their tea.
This feature is not about waving flags or painting roundabouts. It’s a celebration of great British design, manufacturing, invention and innovation. It’s a chance to celebrate the impact Blighty has on the global stage. How big businesses, family run brands and independent start-ups can thrive and continue to surprise. Choosing our 59 favourite British brands was not easy, and whittling it down from hundreds of great contenders caused more than a few polite discussions in the T3 offices.
