Jewellery & AccessoriesSomebody described what they wanted, a UK maker built it, and it turned up.
I'd like a key holder that also has wireless phone charger shelves. The idea is that when you come into the house, you…
“Axal was amazing. He helped visualise the key box by creating a CAD model, he proposed some great changes I hadn't thought of, and the workmanship in the finished product is excellent! He integrated woodwork and electronics brilliantly - I highly recommend Axal!”
I am looking for a new garden tool box to be made. nothing that special other than the lid always stays flat when open…
“I had a very specific idea for a storage unit that no shop stocked and no idea how to get it made. Need It Made sorted it. The finished piece arrived exactly as I'd imagined. Couldn't recommend more highly.”
I’m looking for something like this for my van + Instagram reel
“This was so easy, I just copied over a photo from Instagram, and the maker had it made and with me really quickly. Great quality!”

Founding MakerWrite down what you want made. UK makers come back to you with prices.
Any one of these is enough. The more a maker can see, the more of them bid and the sharper the prices.
A real brief from this site, word for word. It was enough to start, and the piece got built.
You pay nothing until you accept a bid.
Makers in your material are alerted automatically.
Makers can ask questions in chat before quoting. Compare what comes in, or walk away.
We hold your money while the project is being made.
You confirm and the maker is paid. If it is not right, raise an issue instead.
Your money stays safe until you've got exactly what you asked for.
“NiM provides a seamless process for connecting makers with potential customers. Once a project is signed off by the client, payments are released immediately. Highly recommended platform”
“It was a full on collaborative experience. Fantastic, flawless.”
Maker stories, practical guides, and what's happening in UK making.
The UK government's advanced manufacturing page was updated on 15 July with figures that mostly sound very large: £500 million of collaborative research and development funding, £4 billion for zero-emission vehicle manufacturing through DRIVE35, and £116 million for Made Smarter support aimed at 5,500 small and medium-sized enterprises.
Something important changed for adult learners in England on 1 August. The government expanded its Free Courses for Jobs offer to include more Level 2 engineering and manufacturing qualifications. The official announcement lists 49 reformed engineering qualifications and 23 reformed manufacturing technologies qualifications.
A Bristol tool-sharing story is a useful reminder that practical jobs often fail at the first hurdle: people know what they want repaired or made, but not what tools, skills or route will get them there.
Pick what you are after and see the UK makers who take that work on, alongside pieces they have already built.
