Why Nominate

What does it mean to be a member of The Manufacturer Top 100?

Being a member of The Manufacturer Top 100 means you are recognised for your outstanding achievements in manufacturing and are profiled publicly in celebration, both in the printed publication and on the website, and in the regional and business press.

Top 100 individuals are presented with a trophy and their own copy of the report on the launch evening, they receive lifetime VIP passes to The Manufacturer Summit events, and the opportunity to win a Manufacturing Director’s Scholarship in association with Cranfield University.

They also become lifelong members of a 500-strong community of movers and shakers.

The Pledge

• Recruit the right talent at school age – host a stand at a career fair
