Welcome to The Haud!
Fed up with automation, mass production and a churning rotation of trends, I founded The Haud in 2024 with one mission: to support traditional British crafts.
The Haud celebrates all that is handmade on this wonderful island I call home, by showcasing and celebrating the best of British crafts, all in one place. Along the way, I'm trying to foster a community that values British culture, history and the future of making.
As part of our mission, we hope to lift the burden of all of the things you might find challenging - things like SEO, websites, and client management.
So, if you're practicing somewhere here in the UK, please reach out. All are welcome, from the very traditional to the weird and wonderful. We especially want to hear from you if you're practicing an endangered craft.
Honestly, I'm no maker myself - but I do have a lot of experience of selling. Over the years, I've published papers on customer experience, the future of retail, and brand strategy. I’ve also spent several years managing the team at Watts and Co., a historic maker of ceremonial garments, where I’ve worked on strategy, sales, client management, and branding. I've worked with a wide range of clients, from the Royal Household to costume directors, and developed a true appreciation for all that is handmade.
If you think that The Haud fits the bill, please hit the link below to send a couple details on your craft. We'll take the rest from there (and I promise we'll make it as easy as we can).
If you're not sure and still have questions, feel free to drop us an email, a ring or book a consultation. We're more than happy to chat about the ins and outs.
Cheerio for now,
