Championing manufacturing in West Yorkshire

Denford is proud to support West Yorkshire Manufacturing Services

At Denford, we’ve always believed that strong partnerships are key to developing skills, driving innovation, and inspiring the next generation of engineers. That’s why we’re proud to support West Yorkshire Manufacturing Services (WYMS) – an organisation at the heart of the region’s manufacturing and engineering community.

WYMS, like Denford, is based in Brighouse and provides a vital platform for local businesses, delivering high-quality training, networking opportunities, and access to specialist knowledge. From lean manufacturing workshops and Health & Safety training to technical skills development and leadership programmes, WYMS helps ensure West Yorkshire remains a centre of manufacturing excellence.

Denford shares WYMS’ commitment to nurturing talent and equipping individuals with the tools they need to succeed. Together, we’re championing manufacturing and supporting the creation of a skilled workforce ready to meet the challenges of a fast-changing industry.

“Supporting WYMS reflects our ongoing commitment to UK manufacturing and education,” says Andrew Denford, Chief Executive of Denford Ltd and Chair of WYMS. “By working together, we can help strengthen the local manufacturing ecosystem, inspire future engineers, and ensure businesses have access to the skills and resources they need to thrive.”

WYMS is more than just a training provider – it’s a hub for collaboration and innovation. It helps manufacturers of all sizes to develop their people, processes, and productivity.

Our longstanding support of WYMS highlights Denford’s broader vision: to raise aspirations, create opportunities, and ensure that manufacturing remains a cornerstone of the UK economy.
