David Brown Santasalo has been recognised as one of the top 100 companies in the ‘Kirklees Top 100’ list for the fifth consecutive year. Now into its fifth year, the Kirklees Top 100 Companies initiative aims to raise the profile of our local business community and forge stronger links around topics of shared interest between the top 100 companies and our partners, the University of Huddersfield, Business Kirklees and the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre (3M BIC).
The list was overseen by Professor Jill Johnes, Dean of Huddersfield Business School who specialises in production economics and was determined by a set of consistent metrics such as turnover, profit, employee numbers and growth. The top 100 businesses were unveiled at a launch event held on Tuesday, 8th October 2024 at the DJH Suite at the John Smith’s Stadium.
“We are very pleased that our UK operations have been recognised amongst some of the most successful businesses in the Kirklees area. The business can trace its roots back to 1860 when we started specialising in gearwheel patterns for cast gears right here in Huddersfield. Since that time, we have kept our roots firmly planted in the area, most notably opening our Park Works facility in 1902, which is still part of our business today. The business continues to develop and now has a long-term land and marine orderbook and has expanded our industrial service centre, most recently opening a secondary site at our Prospect Works location.”
