At Commtel, we’re proud to announce that we have officially joined the Made in Britain community – a collective mark that celebrates and recognises British manufacturers who produce their goods to the highest standards on UK soil.
Our application, championed by our Chief Product Officer, Mike Winterbottom, was driven by more than just eligibility. It was rooted in purpose, pride, and the desire to reaffirm our ongoing commitment to product integrity, innovation, and British manufacturing excellence.
Why ‘Made in Britain’ Matters to Us
In a world of global supply chains and mass outsourcing, we believe that the strength of a product lies not only in how it’s made, but where. The Made in Britain mark is more than just a badge; it’s a symbol of trust, transparency, and a deep respect for local expertise.
By joining this respected community, we’re offering our customers even greater confidence in the quality, consistency and reliability of the Commtel products they choose.
Equally, this step represents a continued investment in British engineering, jobs, and supply networks. It’s a signal that we’re not just building intercom systems; we’re contributing to a wider ecosystem of UK manufacturing.
Our Heritage: Built on British Ingenuity
Our journey began over 30 years ago, and we’ve always taken pride in the fact that our design, development, and final assembly take place right here in Britain. That’s never changed, and neither has our passion for building smart, and future-ready secure entry systems.
From humble beginnings to a product line trusted by installers and gate automation experts across the country, we’ve grown through collaboration, creativity, and a relentless commitment to progress.

Recognising the Work Behind the Certification
A special thanks goes to Mike Winterbottom, our Chief Product Officer, who led the application process and ensured our values, practices and products met the criteria for the Made in Britain mark.
Mike’s dedication reflects our broader company culture – one where every team member takes ownership of their role in delivering excellence, whether that’s in design, development, sales, or customer support.
What This Means for the Future
This certification isn’t just a nod to where we’ve come from, it’s a clear signal of where we’re going. As we continue to innovate with new technologies like our new NX1 IP intercom, we remain committed to keeping our production processes close to home and our standards high.
We’re honoured to fly the Made in Britain flag and look forward to what this milestone brings for our customers, our partners, and the next chapter of our journey.
