The Manufacturer Top 100 project, sponsored by Salesforce for the second consecutive year, aims to dispel the myths surrounding manufacturing and create a platform to champion and publicly identify dynamic leaders and innovators in the sector.
This year’s The Manufacturer Top 100 comprises incredible candidates hailing from all over the country, from a range of sectors and occupy varying roles in manufacturing.
Ben is joined by a list of exemplary figures in the manufacturing industry including: Elizabeth Bartlett, Fatigue & Damage Tolerance Engineer, Airbus Commercial Aircraft; Oliver Buhlinger, Group Technology Engineer, Hayward Tyler Group; Kodi Gledhill, Level 3 Engineering Apprentice, Coca-Cola European Partners; Dr Graham Malcolm OBE, CEO & Co-Founder, M Squared Lasers; and Professor Keith Ridgway, Executive Dean, University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre.
Individuals were nominated by readers of The Manufacturer, the wider industrial community and the public for their contributions in changing the image of industry; finding new markets; demonstrating bold leadership; alongside those young, bright pioneers that are making an impact disproportionate to their years.
The final list was decided by an expert panel of judges, representing UK manufacturing, academia and the wider industrial community. You can see the list of judges here.
Nick Hussey, CEO, Hennik Group – publishers of The Manufacturer, said: “Projects like The Manufacturer Top 100 play an absolutely vital role, serving to demonstrate the reality of what the highly diverse, well-paid careers available in industry actually look like.
“I am delighted and honoured to have come to know personally many of those named as one of The Manufacturer Top 100 to date. Their stories are ones of inspiration, determination, passion and achievement.
