Yorkshire-based manufacturer Power Plastics Limited is proud to announce their Chairman has been recognised as one of Britain’s Great 100, a national honour celebrating the people who are backing Britain and championing UK manufacturing and engineering.
Launched by the Made in Group, the Great 100 recognises individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership and commitment to strengthening British industry. Honourees are selected for exemplifying the core values shaping the future of UK manufacturing — including industry advocacy, sustainability, investing in the next generation, supply-chain excellence and resilience.
As part of this year’s Great 100, Simon Price has been acknowledged for championing and advocating for British industry, one of the Made in Group’s key criteria. Over the past eighteen months, as UK SMEs have faced significant challenges, Simon has worked tirelessly to ensure the voice of manufacturing is heard in Westminster.
His efforts have included direct engagement with Government and Shadow Ministers, hosting local MPs at Power Plastics’ facilities across Yorkshire and collaborating with industry bodies including Made in Yorkshire, Family Business United and Make UK Defence. Through this work, he has played a key role in amplifying the Backing Britain message.
Simon Price, Chairman of Power Plastics Limited commented:
“We are grateful for organisations such as the Made in Group, who not only provide a platform for SMEs to network and share best practice, but also offer a route for constructive dialogue with those who govern. This recognition highlights the importance for business leaders continuing to speak up for our industries.”
Andy Beetles, Managing Director commented:
“We are delighted to see Simon recognised among Britain’s Great 100. His contribution and commitment to the values of Backing Britain reflect the principles we’re proud to uphold at Power Plastics”.
