Perry Win Yorkshire Post’s UK Manufacturer of the Year award 2013



Perry Uniform is delighted to have been awarded Yorkshire Post’s Manufacturer of the Year at the region’s top business awards ceremony, ‘The Business Oscars’.


The awards recognise companies that continue to grow and innovate, whatever the state of the economy. They further acknowledge and celebrate the strength and diversity of Yorkshire manufacturing. 

A new report claims that manufacturing textiles and clothing in the UK is once again commercially viable, the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills Vince Cable has lent his support to the UK textile manufacturing sector, saying he believes there is huge potential for the industry.

“There is scope for a manufacturing revival,” said Cable. “I sense that coming back, and we must encourage young people to visit factories to see it is not like their perceptions and realise they could build a career in manufacturing.”

Perry believes wholeheartedly in harnessing young talent and teaching the skill sets of textile manufacturing to aspiring young businessmen and women. Perry provides apprentice schemes, school visits and work experience with interns often landing themselves future job roles within the company.
Perry has been manufacturing quality products for over 65 years and is in full support of this resurgence within the UK. 

‘Design, woven and manufactured in Leeds, our school uniforms continue Yorkshire’s long heritage of wool production that today’s children can enjoy here and nationwide. And we encourage them to consider our industry as a real career option" said Bernard Bunting.
