Manufacturing Excellence Award nomination for PCT Limited 2006 winners are nominated again

PCT Limited, designers and manufacturers of everything from railway points and uPVC window catches, to towbars and towing accessories, have been shortlisted for the Irwin Mitchell Manufacturing Award in this year’s Sheffield Business Awards, having previously won the same award in 2006. The awards will mark the glittering finale of a year long calendar of events celebrating 150 years of the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce.

“Winning this award last year was a phenomenal achievement and went a long way to recognise the dedication and commitment of all of our staff”, said James Terry, Managing Director of PCT Limited. “Being shortlisted again this year shows that there is still hope for manufacturing businesses in spite of the constant stream of doom and gloom laden stories in the media. Now more than ever manufacturing success is built on providing excellent products and great service. This year we are celebrating more than 80 years in business, which goes to show that sustainable success in this sector is not just a pipe dream. Sheffield has always been a manufacturing heartland and we hope that companies in the area continue to be at the forefront of delivering innovation and developing best practices for others to follow.”

The award winners will be announced at a gala dinner to take place on the 6th of December at Pond’s Forge in Sheffield.

James Terry is available for further comment and interview. All enquiries should be directed to the Press Contact above in the first instance.
