Gripple, the UK-based manufacturer of suspension solutions for the construction industry, is celebrating five wins at the prestigious TMMX Awards (The Manufacturer MX Awards) in partnership with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Gripple beat off strong competition from manufacturers across the UK to win: Manufacturer of the year, Young Manufacturer of the Year, International Trade, Operational Excellence, and Leadership and Strategy, after being shortlisted in 10 out of 11 categories.
Gordon Macrae, special projects manager at Gripple, explains: “This was a fantastic night for Gripple and for manufacturing in South Yorkshire. The TMMX Awards are the most prestigious manufacturing awards in the country, so it is a real honour for us to win five categories. The entry process and judging criteria are, quite rightly, rigorous and the judges really do put you to the test when they visit, but we are so pleased with the feedback we received and will use this to continually improve our operations.”
He added: “The TMMX awards are an opportunity to showcase the passion for excellence we have across our business, which is driven by Gripple being an employee-owned business.”
The winners were announced at The Manufacturer MX Awards ceremony and gala dinner, which took place on Thursday 17th November at the Exhibition Centre in Liverpool. The evening was held at the end of Digital Manufacturing Week and attended by 900 people from the manufacturing industry.
