Liniar has been shortlisted for the Made in the Midlands Awards for the Manufacturer of the Year award. This follows the announcement in March that Liniar had also won the Midlands Business Award for Manufacturer of the Year for the second year running.
“Being considered for awards always brings a sense of pride that our 500+ workforce are delighted to share,” commented Group MD, Martin Thurley. “In these unprecedented times, it’s even more important than usual to be able to share these nuggets of much-needed good news to all those who work within our business, whilst most of them are furloughed and waiting to return.
“If we were chosen to win Made in the Midlands Manufacturer of the Year, it would once again demonstrate to our employees and our community that we belong amongst the hub of powerhouse manufacturers in the region – even with such stiff competition!
“We’re all very proud of the positive culture we have here at Liniar,” continued Martin. “It’s really come to the fore of late in the proactive way the team have dealt with the temporary closure of our site, as well as keeping all our communication channels open. We’ve also had a raft of willing volunteers to help with our initiative to produce protective face visors for key workers to help get through this crisis – everyone really does want to help where they can.
“We know the team are keen to return to work as soon as the government relaxes the restrictions and we are already planning how to ensure we do that safely – which is the most important focus for us.
“In the meantime, it’s always great to be recognised for our achievements, and being shortlisted for the Made in the Midlands 2020 Manufacturer of the Year is an honour for us.”
