The English Store was the creation of Brian Dash and Paul Green who came up with the idea in order to promote English made products and English produced food and drink, as amazingly there were no such sites anywhere on the web.

On the right hand side you will see a list of all the categories that we cover - please browse and click on any of the topics that take your fancy!

VAT decrease - benefit to who?

The recent VAT decrease from 17.5% to 15% seems to be wrongly focused.

If people do go out and start to spend more, that money will be spent on goods from abroad and helping overseas manufacturing companies as opposed to supporting "made in England" products and English people.

The £15 billion or so could be better spent by reducing employment costs and therefore increasing the number of jobs, or providing funding for English companies; helping them promote their goods and services.

What action can we take?

Where there is an option, buy something made in England - it might be slightly more expensive, but will be of a better quality, last longer, be of greater value as well as giving you the satisfacation of knowing that you are making a direct contribution to a local company.
