Mark Morris, Thomas Dudley

“We love working with the people in the community – some families have two or three generations working here.” That’s how Mark Morris, Marketing Manager at Thomas Dudley, captures the everyday impact of a company quietly powering Britain’s infrastructure.

Based in the heart of the Black Country, Thomas Dudley manufactures a wide range of innovative bathroom and drainage solutions – from cistern components to street-level drainage covers, all proudly made in Dudley. Their latest invention, the Quantum flush valve, is the world’s only push-button siphon – a product both water-saving and leak-free, designed and built entirely in the UK.

But Thomas Dudley is more than just manufacturing excellence. It’s a fourth-generation family business that thrives on values of teamwork, partnership, and family. With over 500 employees, many spanning generations, the company fosters a culture where people genuinely feel part of something meaningful.

Proudly bearing the Made in Britain trademark, Thomas Dudley champions local manufacturing, quality craftsmanship, and sustainable innovation. As Mark states: “There’s a whole lot of expertise in this country — an untapped resource of enthusiasm and excitement for manufacturing.” It’s proof that British manufacturing isn’t just alive, it’s thriving.
