International Women’s Day was celebrated on 8th March, and at Ormiston Wire Ltd we are proud to recognise the vital role women continue to play within our manufacturing environment.
Founded in 1793, our company’s longevity has been shaped by generations of dedication and resilience, including that of Dorothy Ormiston, who led P. Ormiston and Sons Ltd (our former name) from 1923 following her husband’s death, until 1945 when her son Jack returned from the war. While raising four children, Dorothy also oversaw the rebuilding of the factory after it was destroyed by enemy bombing, a remarkable legacy of strength and leadership.

From Dorothy Ormiston’s remarkable leadership to the talented women driving our business forward today, we remain proud of the role women have played, and continue to play, in shaping our company’s future.
