Pegler Yorkshire, which manufactures ‘water flow solutions’ for the plumbing industry’, recently welcomed Charlie Bean, Deputy Governor of Monetary Policy at the Bank of England, to its Doncaster premises.
Visiting as part of a region-wide ‘fact-finding mission’, and particularly interested in the company’s export sales growth, Mr Bean spoke with Pegler’s directors, and toured the Doncaster facility, taking in the key elements of brass product manufacturing, including processing the raw material (Pegler Yorkshire claims to be one of only two UK companies with this facility), through to rod extrusion, machining, chrome plating, and finished product testing and labelling. Stuart Anderson, Pegler Yorkshire MD (pictured left, with Charlie Bean), said: “As manufacturing is an important part of the local and wider economy, we were encouraged by the visit, and the opportunity to speak directly with the Deputy Governor, who was keen to see innovation at the forefront of British manufacturing, and the opportunities these innovations offer to both the regional business community, and export sales.”
