The ‘Made in Britain’ stamp has always been a mark of quality and this award seeks to recognise the South West businesses that are making things. The type of business and items produced do not matter. What is important is innovation, design, quality, efficiency, sales flair – and all the other skills needed to be a manufacturing winner. Judges will be looking for examples of how the business has adapted to the changing marketplace and its strategy for the future.
