A series of tours and activities will be held throughout the day, aimed at giving visitors an insight into the world of manufacturing.

There will also be staff on hand to talk about their inspiration for joining the sector, and the opportunities they have had to progress and train further.

The open day is for all age groups, from school leavers to experienced workers considering a career change.

The aim is to give the Droitwich community a better understanding of manufacturing.

The company relocated its factory to Droitwich in 2021, having outgrown its previous site in Halesowen.

The company produces packaged heating, ventilation, and air conditioning solutions for a variety of markets, including data centres, gas transmission, and district energy.

Ian Harris, production training team leader at the company, said: "We are delighted to be taking part in National Manufacturing Day, and very much look forward to welcoming students, teachers, and careers advisers to our company.

"We have an active and successful apprenticeship programme with places available for new trainees.

"I would also like to stress that we have opportunities for people who are already in the job market, but would like to develop new skills, in order to change career and get ahead."

Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, said: "This is a really exciting day where the whole manufacturing sector will come together to celebrate the amazing things that Britain designs and makes.

"Britain’s manufacturing companies are at the forefront of global renewable technology development and some of the most innovative engineering developments seen anywhere around the world.

"This is a sector with amazing opportunities and we hope this third National Manufacturing Day will give people the chance to see just what is going on and the opportunities available to them."

The open day will be on Thursday, September 26.
