Introducing YouK: The Revolutionary Platform Celebrating UK-Made Products

YouK, a pioneering online marketplace dedicated to showcasing and promoting products made, produced, or designed in the UK, has today  announced its nationwide launch. With an array of innovative features, YouK connects consumers with local businesses and helps them to discover a wide range of British brands.

YouK is designed for consumers who prioritise supporting UK businesses, buying local, and exploring creative enterprises. Whether customers are searching for artisanal crafts, sustainable goods, or niche products, YouK is here to help! One of YouK’s standout features is its interactive map, allowing users to pinpoint UK businesses with ease. Additionally, the platform offers advanced sorting options. Customers can filter products based on their proximity, origin, and other relevant factors. With YouK’s intuitive interface and helpful search functionality, finding the UK version of any product has never been simpler!

“We are delighted to introduce YouK to consumers across the UK,” says Tim Taylor, e-commerce Manager at YouK. “Buying British products in the UK should be the easiest thing in the world, but this isn’t always the case. Our goal is to help consumers make informed decisions for every purchase, all while championing British businesses.

“YouK’s unique scoring system provides users with an instant assessment of a business or product’s UK credentials, so that they can easily identify and support local brands. We consider a range of factors, including where materials are sourced and where manufacturing takes place, so consumers can make an informed choice while contributing to a more sustainable and vibrant local economy by reducing the miles products travel to their homes.”

In addition to serving consumers, YouK offers a groundbreaking marketing opportunity for UK businesses utilising Shopify. Through the newly launched Shopify Marketplace app, UK-based Shopify stores can easily integrate their products onto the YouK platform, expanding their reach to a dedicated audience of conscious consumers. A match made in heaven, or rather, in the UK!

Our team is comprised of passionate individuals and contributors hailing from every corner of the UK, and each of us is committed to helping local businesses thrive and flourish.”
