CASE STUDY:
UK’S NEXT PRIME MINISTER CHOOSES VACULUG TO LAUNCH CAMPAIGN BASED ON ITS VALUES OF BEING A RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS, A PEOPLE BUSINESS AND A PROSPEROUS UK BASED BUSINESS
As a leading British manufacturing company that has been in business for more than seven decades, Vaculug provided the perfect backdrop for one of the UK’s most significant moments in political history. In July 2022, Rishi Sunak requested to kick-off his campaign to become the UK’s next Prime Minister at our Headquarters in Grantham, the birthplace of former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
From the start, Rishi Sunak’s campaign was built on a promise to ‘Restore Trust, Build the Economy and Reunite the Country’. This promise resonated immensely not only with Vaculug and the manufacturing sector - but with all SMEs who represent the backbone of the British economy.
Honoured to host the event, our Chairman Haarjeev Kandhari stated the following, “So humbled that you came to Vaculug to launch your campaign. We were delighted to be able to support what is arguably the most important campaign in British political history. Not only will you be the first PM of Asian descent but the youngest. God Bless You and your family.”2
Indeed, as our Chairman astutely envisaged, on October 25th, 2022, Rishi Sunak made history when he became the UK’s 57th Prime Minister.
