The awards judging panel commented: The judges felt the Tobermore’s approach to managing people, culture, innovation and adaptability to challenges has undoubtedly contributed to their growth and success. This made Tobermore the stand-out manufacturer this year. 

Glenn Robinson, General Manager at Tobermore commented on the win:

“I am so delighted that Tobermore has been named ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ at the Made in NI Awards. It has undoubtedly been a challenging time for the manufacturing industry. Unprecedented levels of demand presented us with production challenges. Special thanks goes to our world class production team who implemented better stock management, processes and systems. This, coupled with a targeted recruitment drive has meant that Tobermore have been able to manage output. The pandemic has been a catalyst for digital transformation acceleration within our business. We are proud to have been recognised with this award which demonstrates our adaptability to the changing landscape.”
