The Stockport-based firm has been shortlisted in the Manufacturer of the Year award (under £25 million) category of the high-profile awards, which celebrate the great and the good of the region’s manufacturing sector.

“It’s been an exciting time for Glossop Cartons since the management buyout in February and we have sustained impressive growth and made successful in-roads into new markets. It means a great deal for us to be up there alongside some of the region’s top manufacturers and for our team to be recognised for its expertise and hard work.”

The winners will be announced at a black tie event at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester on 28 July.
