Our Commitment to British Makers

At Grounded Fox, we spend a lot of time thinking about where things come from. Not just the materials, but the people, workshops and places behind the products we offer. When building our brand, one question kept coming up: who made this, and where?

That belief shapes the brands we choose to work with. We look for makers and craftsmen who care deeply about materials, process and longevity. People who build things properly and take pride in the details.

Fabrication at OX Grills, proudly built in Britain.

We value makers who combine engineering, craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Outdoor cooking specialists like OX Grills show what British fabrication can look like when precision engineering meets practical outdoor design. Their work is a great example of the kind of quality we look for when selecting BBQs for our range.

Britain has a remarkable heritage of craft and engineering. From metalworking and timber workshops to architectural fabrication and specialist engineering, there is a long tradition of people building things properly here.

Working with British makers allows us to stay closer to the people behind the products. It means clearer communication, stronger quality control and a deeper understanding of how things are built.

It also helps support skilled jobs, apprenticeships and the communities built around these crafts, keeping valuable workshop knowledge alive for future generations.

Hand-finishing at William Holland, crafted in Britain.

Makers like William Holland represent another side of British craftsmanship. Their process is rooted in material knowledge, patient hand-finishing and the kind of workshop skill that gives a product real presence. Their beautifully crafted copper tubs are part of our curated range of outdoor baths.

Modern production is complex and not every component can always be sourced locally. But wherever the choice exists, we aim to support British makers and the craftsmen who continue to build things properly.

For Grounded Fox, supporting British makers is about craftsmanship, integrity and backing the people who take pride in their work.
