England one of the best for Manufacturing

Can you remember any that are still going or have they gone out of business?

Just seen this MM,

I assume there are a number of businesses that are still English or British like :
newspaper groups like the Times & Guardian
Boots
Royal mail
Royal mint
Burberry
Aston martin
and the best of all Leeds United Football Club :)
