Conservatory company gets
manufacturing commendation
» » CONSERVATORY OUTLET LTD HAS
been recognised as ‘Highly Commended’ in
the category of Manufacturer of The Year
(under £25m) at the high profile Made in
Yorkshire Awards 2019.
Hosted annually by the Yorkshire
Business Insider, the judges praised the
Wakefield business for the way in which
it works so closely with its supply chain to
achieve business growth, for its significant
investment in technology, and in the
training and development of its 150-strong
workforce.
Michael Giscombe, Managing Director at
Conservatory Outlet, comments: “We were
up against some tough competition in the
form of global exporters and technologically
advanced innovators, so for a fabricator like
Conservatory Outlet to be in the running is a
fantastic achievement in itself.
“With our network model being exclusively
UK-based, we have to work even harder to
innovate both on product and service to
remain competitive, and to continue to create
opportunities for growth in a challenging
market. We’re delighted that our efforts have
been recognised and celebrated by the judges
and were very proud to support our local
manufacturing community at this event, flying
the flag for the fenestration industry.”
