Many UK manufacturing companies are opening their doors in a country-wide Open House today (7th July) as part of National Manufacturing Day. Radiator manufacturer Stelrad has announced it is taking part in this year’s inaugural event, organised by manufacturing trade body Make UK, and will be showcasing potential careers and jobs on offer and run scheduled ‘through the keyhole’ tours of the business throughout the day. The aim is to help encourage all age groups from school leavers to more experienced workers looking at reskilling to consider the possibilities of a career in manufacturing as well as helping local communities understand more about the businesses on their doorstep.
Stelrad Radiators has been part of the South Yorkshire community, manufacturing radiators since 1936, and will be putting on a series of fun events throughout the day. Visitors will be able to talk directly to members of staff about how Stelrad’s operations work and what opportunities there might be available in the business.
David Taylor operations director of Stelrad Radiators says: “National Manufacturing Day gives us an opportunity to open our doors to interact with students, teachers and careers advisors to visit our manufacturing facilities, showcasing the exciting opportunities of offer and get behind the scenes. We are looking forward to having local residents, school students and parents visit us for a day and experience what modern day manufacturing looks like, as well as enabling the local community all to see that manufacturing can be both exciting and rewarding. Visitors will be able to meet our team and hear first-hand what inspired them to join us.”
