For a small SME from Leeds, this is a moment worth celebrating.
Standing Tall Among Manufacturing Giants
The Make UK Manufacturing Awards represent the pinnacle of recognition in British manufacturing, every manufacturing company in the country, from household names to innovative SMEs, competing for the same honours.
Trust were up against some of the biggest players in UK manufacturing, including Filtronic (who took the top spot – huge congratulations to them), Siemens Mobility UK, Nissan Motor Manufacturing, Amazon, Schneider Electric UK, and Husqvarna UK.
And yet, there Trust were, a family-run business from Leeds – standing shoulder to shoulder with them, recognised for our business growth and strategic vision.
Fiona Conor, CEO of Trust Electric Heating, said: “To be recognised alongside some of the UK’s manufacturing giants is an incredible honour. This award validates everything our team has worked so hard to achieve, sustainable growth, genuine innovation, and an unwavering commitment to British manufacturing excellence. We’re a small team with big ambitions, and this proves that smart strategy and customer-first values can compete with anyone.”
What This Means
This runner-up position isn’t just another trophy (though our awards cabinet is getting rather full with 19 wins and 28 shortlistings to date). It’s validation of everything we’ve worked toward since 2014:
- Strategic growth that’s sustainable
- Innovation that matters
- Customer-first values
- British manufacturing excellence
Being shortlisted for the Innovation Awardhighlights our commitment to pushing boundaries in electric heating technology. Our NEOS electric radiator, with its natural soapstone core and patented Quadvex convection system, is a solution for the future of sustainable heating.
What’s Next?
This recognition fuels our ambition.
We’re expanding throughout the UK, continuing to innovate, and staying true to our values: trust, reliability, sustainability, and exceptional customer care.
Every award is a promise to our customers that when they choose Trust Electric Heating, they’re choosing a company that’s been independently recognised for excellence.
Here’s to British manufacturing. Here’s to thinking big, even when you’re small. And here’s to adding another trophy to the cabinet.
