British Manufacturing Special

Robert Ettinger, Jonathan Baker and James Fox, British luxury craftsmen

In a special episode of the Gentleman’s Journal podcast, we’re joined by three towering figures in British craftsmanship and manufacturing — Robert Ettinger of Ettinger; Jonathan Baker of Turnbull & Asser; and James Fox of Crockett & Jones. What these three don’t know about the art of manufacturing — and the science of selling — isn’t worth knowing. And as you’ll see, they present this ancient, deep-rooted industry in a refreshing new light. For any entrepreneurs interested in making beautiful products, and building brands from the ground up, this episode will be 45 minutes very well spent. Our thanks once again to Mark’s Club for playing hosts.

This episode has been recorded at Mark's Club,read by Joseph Bullmore and produced by Martin Lumsden.
