The UK's largest
manufacturer of ceramic and glass tiles, British Ceramic Tile, has been
thrilled to learn that the business was chosen as the ‘Made in Britain Member
of the Year 2018’.
The tile
manufacturing business joined the Made in Britain (MiB) network in 2017, and
since then has delivered a series of initiatives with MiB and its members to
champion British manufacturing and share best practice.
In October 2017
British Ceramic Tile hosted an insightful marketing and sales workshop in the
South West region for local Devon-based businesses. Over 40 local manufacturers
from MiB’s portfolio signed up to learn how to ‘sell more with the marque’ and
drive sales forward into 2019.
The workshop gave
local businesses the chance to network and learn from industry experts with a
focus on sales, marketing, exports and PR led by MiB CEO, John Pearce, Devon
Chamber of Commerce CEO, George Cowcher and British Ceramic Tile’s CEO, Tony
Taylor.
MiB is on a
mission to help UK companies celebrate the best of British manufacturing. By
bringing together the UK’s manufacturing community under one registered marque,
the MiB team provide businesses with information, guidance and advice from
leading experts and other members to help them trade more effectively at home
or abroad.
This year British
Ceramic Tile has forged relationships with a number of MiB members, supported
the MiB workshop programme and provided valuable feedback on potential new
initiatives to make the most of this strong and prosperous partnership.
Liam Poole, head
of customer marketing at British Ceramic Tile says: “What a fantastic way to
end the year. As a company we have enjoyed working closely with MiB, and
building relationships with likeminded businesses. The organisation is a
perfect fit for us as a company, allowing us to communicate our British
heritage and passion for UK manufacturing. We’ll be continuing to support the
network into 2019, and hope to encourage more British businesses to do the
same.”
