The Shortlist

Once again the quality and quantity of entries to The Manufacturer of the Year Awards has been outstanding. Quite rightly UK manufacturers are proud to promote their successes and demonstrate that the industry has a resilient and vibrant future, despite the current challenging climate.

Our judges have worked very hard to ensure the companies which have been shortlisted truly reflect world class excellence and best practice standards, meeting the criteria set for each respective award precisely.

The judges complimented the overall field as a whole, remarking that despite the pressures companies have faced this year, the standard of entries has been remarkable.

We would like to thank everybody that entered this year and are delighted to announce that the following companies have been short listed:
