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.
