Keighley’s local Member of Parliament Robbie Moore has been a strong advocate of manufacturing in his constituency. He asked the International Trade secretary to come and see what they have to offer and hear directly from businesses how the government can help them trade abroad.
In 2019 Marrose were identified as an Export Champion by the Department for International Trade. The Export Champions programme aims to develop a movement of UK businesses who sell their products and services overseas.
Marrose were first established in 1976 and their products are used by the Aerospace, Engineering and Glass sectors.
Following the Secretary of State’s visit Robbie said:
“It was great to welcome Liz to the constituency and show off just some of the fantastic manufacturing talent we have here. Marrose are marketing products internationally which is a strong endorsement for the ability of people in our area to provide a product that can compete on the world stage.”
