Just over a year has passed since the relaunch of Made in Cumbria, during which time the brand has grown significantly, finding new ways of showcasing the exceptional talent, entrepreneurship and creativity found across Cumbria.
The website is now home to around 60 fantastic local businesses! From delicious treats at the Blind Chocolatier, bespoke interiors at Cubby Joinery and stunning Lake District Jewellery, there’s something for everyone!
What is Made in Cumbria?
Made in Cumbria is a project run by Cumbria Chamber of Commerce, aimed at promoting businesses that design and create products within the region. It provides a hub for customers to discover locally-made goods while learning about the talented makers behind them. Check out the website here: www.madeincumbria.co.uk
Highlights from 2024

- In December, we sent out the 10th issue of the monthly Made in Cumbria newsletter to our growing list of subscribers across Cumbria and beyond

What’s next?
2025 will be another busy year for Made in Cumbria sharing the incredible stories behind Cumbria’s vibrant manufacturing sector. In the coming days we’ll be launching our Valentine’s Day campaign, with curated recommendations encouraging people to shop local for Valentine’s Day.
Marketing Manager at Cumbria Chamber, Joe Sanders said:
“We’re delighted with the progress of Made in Cumbria since we relaunched the brand just over a year ago and can’t wait for another year flying the flag for Cumbrian manufacturing! We’d encourage everyone to check out the incredible businesses we have listed on the website and follow us on social media to keep up to with all that’s going on.”
