Are they still made in the UK or all abroad now? I was looking at the electric range and googled their HQ and it came up as a small office near a housing estate.

Raleigh is a brand now, part of a Dutch group that also own several other cycling names:

Doubt it if anything is actually 'made' by Raleigh these days, and certainly not in this country but their head office/distribution centre is quite a big set up and still technically in 'Nottingham' although nowhere near the original site. wink

Ive just looked again and I failed to notice the MASSIVE factory that is right next door to the tiny office block!!!!!!!

Yes I agree though, I dont think anything is made here now. Perhaps they assemble it in the UK? Or is the factory just for storage when the stock comes in from China or wherever?
Shame really, as a kid everyone had a Raleigh and they were the best bikes out there.
