Happy National Manufacturing Day!

Today we're celebrating the people, businesses and innovations that make UK manufacturing such an important part of our economy.

Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of joining fellow Derbyshire recipients of The King's Award for Enterprise for a special celebratory dinner. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet other award-winning businesses and reflect on the incredible talent we have right here in our county.

One thing that stood out was that three of the four Derbyshire winners are manufacturers, a fantastic reminder of the strength, expertise and innovation that exists within Derbyshire's manufacturing sector.

It was wonderful to celebrate alongside fellow King's Award recipients and see the breadth of talent, innovation and business excellence that Derbyshire is home to. Here's hoping even more local businesses achieve this prestigious recognition in the years ahead.

A huge thank you to the Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire, Elizabeth Fothergill CBE, Marvin Cooke OBE DL, Peter Ellse MBA DL, Scott Knowles and everyone involved in bringing the winners together for such a memorable evening.

Happy National Manufacturing Day to everyone helping keep British manufacturing thriving!
