Manufacturing industry demands action

Just a few years ago, the feeling was that the UK needed to plan for a post industrial economy; one based on finance. But after a period of enormous economic change, within the UK and the wider world, manufacturing has never been more important.

With economists and politicians of every type agreeing that manufacturing is the key to a balanced and successful economy, the stage is firmly set for the discussion of how we get to that point.

The Future of UK Manufacturing Summit, which took place on 4th March 2010 in London, started that discussion. UK manufacturers had the opportunity to hear from and to question key speakers from industry, government, politics, economics and industry associations – the people who will impact the future of the sector.

Initial output from the Summit is included in this website (click here). More content will be available in the coming weeks. To download your copy of the Boardroom Report, called VOTE MANUFACTURING, click here.

If you have an investment in UK manufacturing, then make sure you continue to be involved in the debate about the sector’s future. Pledge your support today.
