Gate 7 Shortlisted for Make UK Business Growth and Strategy Award

We are thrilled to announce that Gate 7 has been shortlisted as a regional finalist for the Business Growth and Strategy Award at the 2024 Make UK Manufacturing Awards, marking a significant milestone for us.

This recognition highlights the dedication and innovation our team has shown as we’ve expanded our global operations and strengthened our market position.

A Year of Strategic Growth

Over the past year, Gate 7 has embarked on an ambitious growth strategy that has already seen a 10% increase in revenue and the successful expansion of our client base. A key achievement in this journey has been the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Pune, India which will enable us to serve our customers more efficiently across India and the wider Asian markets. The facility is set to begin production in October.

Commitment to Quality and Innovation

In addition to our international expansion, we have also focused on strengthening our infrastructure and resources across the board. This includes significant investments in our UK and US operations, ensuring that we maintain the highest standards of quality and innovation. As a business, we strive to develop products and solutions that enhance safety, market their brand and improve equipment aesthetics.

Sustainability at the Core

Another critical aspect of our growth strategy has been our commitment to sustainability. We’ve implemented several initiatives to reduce our environmental impact, including replacing older equipment with energy-efficient machines and reducing the use of solvents in our printing processes. We’ve also installed solar panels at our Gateshead site, further aligning our operations with our sustainability goals.

A Word from Our Managing Director

Harry Wickham, our Managing Director, shared his pride in the team’s accomplishments, “Being shortlisted for this award is a testament to the commitment and passion of our team. We’ve worked tirelessly to grow our business and deliver exceptional products to our customers around the world.

“On behalf of everyone at Gate 7, we extend our gratitude to Make UK and the judges for this incredible recognition. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far and look forward to continuing our journey of growth and innovation.”

Looking Ahead to the Awards

The winner of the Business Growth and Strategy Award will be announced at the Regional Dinner on Thursday, 17th October 2024, at Ramside Hall in Durham. We’re honoured to be recognised by Make UK and are excited to be in the running alongside other outstanding businesses in our region.
