So, because one thing is still made here, and it's actually surprising when you find this out, you think this somehow means that UK manufacturing is thriving?!
Not my best example, just happens to be local to me, we are currently working on a joint project with Australia.
I have spent the last 30 odd years working in manufacturing locally, heres a list of my former customers activities
High end furniture
Electronics x 3 Companies
Injection moulding x 2 companies
Playground equipment
Candles/ fancy soap/ sanitiser
Industrial rings
Industrial brushes
Polyurethane goods
Precision engineering
Offshore cable connectors
High voltage switchgear
