National Manufacturing Day visit hosted by What More UK

What More UK, the Lancashire housewares manufacturer, and owner of the well-known brands Wham, PushPan and BetterWare, pride themselves on their innovation and continuous improvement in manufacturing. Recently, they were happy to host a visit by fellow manufacturers to share best practice as part of National Manufacturing Day.

Organised by Make UK, the day showcases manufacturers across the UK and encourages them to network and discuss new ideas and any learnings they may have. A party of 50 delegates met at AMRC North West in Salmesbury, followed by a visit to both sites of What More UK.

What More were happy to share best practice and some impressive statistics, including that from starting in 1999 with just 15 moulds for plastic goods, What More now make over 200,000 product lines weekly. They also talked guests through their focus on investment, in capacity, people and product development.

The group then moved on to Safran Nacelles and Fort Vale, to understand different industries and take learnings from each other. Delegates thought this was a very useful exercise and interesting to meet people from other industries, to share best practise.

What More UK Marketing and Ecommerce Director Jonathan Cliffe was pleased to host the party of delegates and share news and information about What More. He said, "It's great to be able to host fellow leading manufacturers, show them our wide range and our impressive manufacturing and warehousing.

"Our Operations Director Garry Ireland is always willing to take people into our plant and show it off, and some really useful discussions came up along the way. We're always looking for continuous improvement, so any sharing of best practise will always be welcomed!"
