AluK shortlisted for Made in Wales Awards

AluK has been shortlisted as the Manufacturer of the Year (over £25m) in this year’s Made in Wales Awards.

The highly competitive awards, independently judged by a team of business leaders and academics, are a celebration of the Welsh manufacturing community.

For AluK, the shortlisting is a recognition of the huge strides the company has made this year in operational efficiency, environmental stewardship and in-house product innovation, and supports its campaign to promote the benefits for AluK customers of buying from a company based in the UK.

Russell Yates, AluK’s managing director, is commented: “We’ve made significant investments in Chepstow this year and our team have delivered some really successful new initiatives on everything from quality management to testing and training. We’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response from all the customers who have visited us here and this is a fantastic endorsement of the progress we’ve made.

“Every member of the team here should rightly feel a sense of pride and achievement.”

Russell adds that one member of the AluK team who should feel particularly proud is marketing apprentice Elin Davies, who has also been shortlisted for the Made in Wales Apprentice of the Year Award.

The awards are held in Cardiff on 23 October.
