Mike congratulates double award winners David Nieper

Spatial Global client David Nieper has manufactured premium quality clothes for women at their Derbyshire factory since 1961. They were chosen from hundreds of entries to be announced as this year’s regional winners in two categories at the Make UK Manufacturing Awards. The Make UK Manufacturing Awards are designed to shine a spotlight on the resilience, determination and ingenuity of the UK’s manufacturing community. So in winning both awards, David Nieper have been acknowledged as leaders in these key areas.

Being recognised amongst your peers for an area of excellence within the manufacturing sector is a fantastic accolade. Sustainability is probably the hottest topic in any business currently, as every credible organisation seeks to minimise its environmental impact. Developing future talent is what every business should aspire to do; so for David Nieper to be selected as winner in these two awards is an outstanding achievement.

David Nieper and Environmental Responsibility

In 2019 David Nieper became a zero waste-to-landfill company, whereby all waste produced by the business and within the manufacturing process is either, reused, recycled, composted or sent to energy recovery. This sustainable manufacturing strategy creates minimal waste boosting both environmental and economic sustainability for the company.

David Nieper takes its environmental responsibilities seriously and manages its own environmental agenda. Our environmental mission is: ‘To promote the sustainable use of natural resources, with minimum waste and impact on the environment.' So it was a great endorsement of our achievements in this area to be recognised with the Make UK Manufacturing Sustainability Award.
