British Manufacturing, World Leading Quality

For possibly more years than was strictly necessary, many have wondered what the implications of Brexit could be for the construction industry.

Major concerns have centred on how it might have affected standards and regulations, the import and export of goods and materials, and the skills shortage.

Now that Brexit has officially happened, many are still waiting for the dust to settle to see how the changes will manifest in the day to day.

Prysmian cable is proudly manufactured in the UK, to always meet and exceed standards. Our factories design and produce cable for all building types locally, guaranteeing all our Prysmian Professionals consistency of supply for now and the future. Demonstrating this, as essential business, all our UK factories have been consistently and reliably working throughout all government enforced lockdowns relating to the ongoing pandemic, receiving a steady supply of materials, and supplying cable all over the country.

John Evans, UK Operations Director at Prysmian says: “Product availability from Prysmian has been protected throughout 2020 and the start of 2021 by sound forward planning on raw material availability, mitigating port delays resulting from Brexit. Alongside this, there have been strong and quick COVID19 management protocols put in place, underpinning our zero harm philosophy within manufacturing.”
