We’re proud to share our Executive Chair, Richard Bradley, was invited to attend a special reception at No. 11 Downing Street last week to represent UK manufacturing.

Hosted by The Chancellor of the Exchequer, The Rt. Hon Rachel Reeves, the event was organised in partnership with Make UK to celebrate National Manufacturing Day 2025.

Led by Lord Livermore, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, the afternoon brought together leaders from across the UK’s advanced manufacturing sector, showcasing the breadth, diversity and global impact of our industry.

He talked about the brilliant things happening in our region, highlighting the important role UK manufacturing plays in driving innovation, creating jobs and delivering growth both locally and nationally.

It was also fantastic to be alongside fellow north east businesses The Expanded Metal Company, Tees Components and Filtronic.
