At Gordons, our team of manufacturing lawyers is here to help you make the best decisions for business in this ever-changing and diverse sector.

The manufacturing industry is currently facing a mix of opportunities to take advantage of, such as the increase in exports driven by the weaker pound. Against this though, the sector must overcome various challenges, including the uncertainty around the use of foreign workers and the difficulties in attracting the next generation of talent.

If your business needs guidance, seeking the support of our manufacturing lawyers will ensure you’re doing what’s best for business.

We understand how manufacturer clients operate, what makes them successful and what keeps them up at night. This enables us to provide clear and practical manufacturing legal advice for the daily encounters they’re faced with.

Our commitment to the manufacturing sector

We are proud to be a sponsor of Bradford Manufacturing Week.  This unique event showcases the district’s manufacturing might and inspires, encourages and educates young people around the opportunities for a fulfilling and rewarding manufacturing career.

The inaugural event took place during the 8-12 October 2018 and over the course of the week students from over half of the district’s secondary schools took part in more than 3,000 first hand manufacturing experiences.

Plans are now underway for an even bigger and better 2019 event.
