UK manufacturing given boost by visit of Penny Mordaunt MP

Commented de Laszlo: “It is gratifying that politicians are finally listening to the needs of industry and that the voices of SMEs such as Harwin are being heard. To ensure a continued and full recovery from the recent recession, manufacturers such as ourselves must be allowed to be competitive, free from unnecessary costs and restrictions. Politicians have a full responsibility to create an economic environment where enterprising businesses can succeed, and we are pleased that our local MP has taken such a keen interest in our activities.”

Ms. Mordaunt was impressed by Harwin’s technological capabilities and in its policy of large-scale capital investment, along with its apprenticeship programme. The company was also able to demonstrate its international presence, having recently returned from a highly-successful attendance at the major electronics event Electronica in Munich, where a record number of orders and enquiries were taken.
