york handmade celebrates another record year
underline

This success has led to York Handmade building a new 16,000 sq ft factory at its site at Alne, near Easingwold. This facility will
include machinery to manufacture an exciting new range of products, as well as increasing the capacity for manufacturing existing
items such as terracotta floor tiles.

David Armitage said: “We are very confident that, as the only serious manufacturer of terracotta floor tiles in the United Kingdom,
this offers some exciting prospects for further growth.

He added: “The company’s clear target is to increase turnover by a further 30 per cent in the next three years”.

Last month York Handmade won a major honour in the prestigious 2006 Brick Awards. The company won the Best Landscape
Project award for its work on the Walled Garden at Broughton Hall, near Skipton.
