The Manufacturer Top 100 began in 2013 as awareness around the lack of visible role models in the industry began to grow. We wanted to provide a platform for the most inspiring individuals in the industry, to illustrate the enthusiasm and commitment present in modern manufacturing and to underscore the exciting, well-paid, and rewarding careers that exist in our sector. The 100 individuals that are nominated are among the very best UK manufacturing has to offer, and we want to continue to showcase the people who make a truly exceptional contribution to the sector every day. They are the driving force behind the country’s manufacturing renaissance, and to understand their individual journeys is to understand why it is truly inspiring to be manufacturing in Britain today.
