Brompton bicycles are part of the Make

Make it in Great Britain is a campaign led by the Department for Business,

transform the image of modern manufacturing. The Make it in Great Britain
exhibition at the Science Museum recently opened and is the pinnacle of the
campaign and celebrates the best of British manufacturing. The exhibition
runs until 9 September, and highlights the successes of the manufacturing
sector to encourage young people to consider a career in the industry and
businesses to invest.
