ROME: Award-winning clayware group Naylor Industries has been featured in a national exporting guide.
Naylor, which draws a number of employees from Kirklees, is one of four firms selected from across the UK to take part in the guide which is designed to make more manufacturers aware of the benefits of exporting and the Government support available to help them.
The free guide – Britain’s Global Adventure: the Export Opportunity – has been published to coincide with the launch of Exporting is GREAT, the Government’s biggest ever export campaign.
EEF, the organisation for manufacturing, engineering and technology, is an official partner of the campaign, which aims to inspire and support an extra 100,000 companies to export by 2020.
Naylor Industries, a specialist manufacturer of clay pipes, plastic drainage and concrete products for the construction sector , is featured because it is already successfully exporting.
The group has six factories in the UK and now exports to 65 countries. In the last five years, it has quadrupled its export sales. Earlier this year, it won the Outstanding Export Award and was named Winner of Winners at the EEF/Aldermore Future Manufacturing Awards.
Chief executive Edward Naylor will also be speaking at the National Manufacturing Conference in London early next year as part of a panel discussion on “Unlocking the global trade challenge”.
Andy Tuscher, EEF Yorkshire and Humber region director, said: “Export success underpins dynamic economies and growing companies. Manufacturers are already more likely to export than their peers in other sectors and account for nearly half of all UK exports. This is why our sector has a key role to play in helping the UK achieve its ambitious export goals.”
