Manufacturing
Sheffield and South Yorkshire have a long and proud, internationally recognised history as a world leading manufacturing centre.
Traditionally the region was inextricably linked to the production of cutlery, tools and agricultural implements, all forged from local iron and steel. Its position as a leading manufacturing centre was sealed, giving birth to the legend ‘Made in Sheffield’.
Although the names and processes may have changed over the years, Sheffield and South Yorkshire are still home to a legion of active and innovative manufacturers, many of whom are leading lights in materials technology, aerospace, food production and biomedical and healthcare technologies.
As one of South Yorkshire’s leading independent law firms we have worked alongside South Yorkshire manufacturers of every size and of every type for more than 200 years. Manufacturing is not only core to Wake’s Smith’s client base, it’s in our blood.
Our decades of experience of working with manufacturers has taught us exactly how to design and deliver the highly specialist but practical and affordable legal solutions manufacturing businesses need to continue to prosper and grow.
