Crystal Doors, based in Rochdale, has struck gold at a prestigious regional manufacturing awards ceremony.
The awards, organised by Make UK, the manufacturers’ organisation, the organisation which represents industry across the UK, were held to recognise the achievements of companies from across the north west, with the winners now going on to the national finals which will be held in London in January 2025.
Crystal Doors was presented with the Make UK North West SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) of the Year Award. The award was given in recognition of its extensive and relentless efforts to improve its performance over more than a decade. This has resulted in substantial improvements in productivity, investment and, in particular, a strong drive to reduce emissions to net zero.
This has included a significant programme of employee involvement at all levels and has led the company to become a best practice mentor to other companies also seeking to improve their performance.
Dawn Huntrod, region director for Make UK in the north, said: “These awards are a testament to the dynamic companies and individuals working within engineering and manufacturing.
"The sector remains at the heart of creating wealth in the North West and as we grow our economy there will be a bright future for companies and individuals that make the most of their talent.”
Crystal Doors will go on to compete in the national finals against other companies around the UK in January 2025.
