Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as JULIA GASH ENTERPRISES LIMITED, number 08967801. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from.

Made in the UK
The maker states: pearlescent, hi-white paper Print: giclee/archival quality Made in England Delivery Information As Julia's postcards are made to order, we will print, pack and dispatch your products with Source. Their words, not ours; we have not independently verified it.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
