Parvalux, the UK’s largest manufacturer of fractional horsepower electric motors, based in Bournemouth, is proud to announce that four of its employees have gained recognition as the Top 100 stars within the UK’s manufacturing industry.
The Manufacturer Top 100 are the most dynamic leaders and innovators in manufacturing, as nominated by The Manufacturer’s 265,000-strong audience, the wider industrial community, and judged by our esteemed judging panel featuring leaders of industry, academic institutions, and manufacturing associations.
The award publicly recognises the heroes of UK manufacturing, those who stand out for their contribution to changing the face of industry; finding new markets; making a marked investment in people, processes, technology, and customers, or for making an impact disproportionate to their years.
Lewis Bowles, Business Development Engineer, Carl Fudge, Junior Production Engineer, and Vladislavs Dunders, Warranty Engineer, were all recognised as Young Pioneers, a person who has made an impact disproportionate to their years, providing inspiration for the future of manufacturing in the UK.
Doug Sheppard, Managing Director, gained recognition as an Inspiring Leader, someone who has created wealth for and created stable employment at a UK-based manufacturing firm, while remaining committed to investing in developing the value of their manufacturing business through people, processes and technology.
Doug said, ‘as a business leader, there’s a special level of pride when seeing some of your own talent being recognised for industry leading awards. Congratulations to the team for all being recognised as Top 100 stars.’
He continued, ‘additional recognition to Lewis Bowles and Vladislavs Dunders who were also selected as Exemplars, being in the Top 20 of the Top 100.
Will Mason, Managing Director of maxon UK & Ireland and a Parvalux board member has seen the difference an inspiring leader can make to a business.
Will said, ‘since Doug has been in post we have seen new energy, drive and enthusiasm that has filtered through to all levels of the business. A new progressive, employee-focussed culture is seeing investment into personal development at all levels, making Parvalux a leading employer in the area.’
Parvalux congratulates the team for their energy, enthusiasm, dynamism and industry expertise, they are shining examples of our people and values.
