PROMOTING MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE

The British Ceramic Confederation represents the common and collective interests of all sectors of the UK ceramics industry. BCC exists to safeguard the industry’s prosperity, acting for the industry in discussions and negotiations with government and public authorities.

In parallel, BCC provides wide ranging professional advice to its members, covering employment law, health and safety, energy, emissions, planning and waste management issues. In this role it promotes environmentally responsible and sustainable manufacturing.

• domestic and commercial tableware and giftware
