In addition, Phillip has been chosen as one of this year’s ‘Inspiring leaders, a driver of cultural change and a young pioneer’.
Members of The Manufacturer Top 100 2017 and the wider manufacturing community joined industry leaders at Exhibition Centre Liverpool on Wednesday 15 November, to celebrate the launch of this year’s report.
Individuals were nominated by readers of The Manufacturer, the wider industrial community and the public for their contributions in changing the image of industry; finding new markets; demonstrating bold leadership; alongside those young, bright pioneers that are making an impact disproportionate to their years.
Dr Mike Kalli said: “It’s absolutely humbling to be highlighted as an exemplar within UK manufacturing, it’s a privilege I take very seriously”
