To mark its 130th anniversary, Make UK has published the 130 Honours list, recognising 130 people from a diverse range of sectors, regions and roles whose achievements, innovation, influence and leadership are shaping the future of UK manufacturing. Analox Managing Director, Emma Harbottle, is among those recognised.

Make UK cites Emma’s ‘exceptional leadership at Analox, rising from the factory shop floor to Managing Director, driving continuous operational improvements and passionately championing emotional intelligence and women in manufacturing’.

Emma says “It is wonderful to be honoured by Make UK alongside so many like-minded and exceptional people within the UK manufacturing industry.

“I’m particularly pleased to be recognised for championing women in manufacturing and highlighting the importance of emotional intelligence in a technical sector. Our people have always been at the heart of our success; strong and effective leadership and management throughout the business is key to that success and plays just as important a role in driving the business forward as staying at the forefront of innovation in our field.”

Alongside Emma’s inclusion in the Make UK 130 Honours, Analox has reached the regional finals of the Make UK 2026 manufacturing awards, shortlisted in the Company of the Year and Health, Safety and Wellbeing categories. The regional winners will be announced on 22nd October at a dinner in Newcastle.
