Investing in UK Manufacturing – Thursday 18th April 2013

Thank you to all who attended this year’s Manufacturing Summit. The event was very successful and once again generated plenty of interesting and lively debate. The feedback received so far has been very positive from all those who attended which is very encouraging for the industry as a whole.

This was the fourth year of the Manufacturing Summit and it continues to shape the debate between industry and government, providing UK manufacturers with the opportunity to hear from and to question key speakers from industry, government, politics, economics and industry associations – the people who impact the future of the sector.

More than ever manufacturing is at the very heart of the UK’s economic future. The theme for 2013 was ‘Investing in UK Manufacturing’ - What is the Government doing to help manufacturers? What can manufacturers and in particular SMEs do to help themselves?

Created in partnership with IET, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, The ERA Foundation, Engineering The Future and Findlay Media, and sponsored by Lombard, the Manufacturing Summit brought together leading keynote speakers, a ‘Question Time’ panel and a selection of practical discussion forums which offered a wealth of valuable content for anyone with an investment in UK manufacturing.

Following this year’s Manufacturing Summit a boardroom report covering the event is currently being prepared and is due to be published within the next month. Copies will be sent to all those who attended and also made available to download online. Previous boardroom reports can be downloaded here www.ukmanufacturingsummit.co.uk/previous-events/
