News: Task force established to support region's manufacturers
A regional taskforce is to be established in Yorkshire and Humber to support the region’s manufacturing industry. Yorkshire Forward has invited key representatives from the regional industry, including the Engineering Employers Federation (EFF) and Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS), as well as regional business leaders, to form a taskforce that will feed into Government the key issues and opportunities currently facing the regional industry. The taskforce will be chaired by Richard Wright, CEO of Rotherham based Intertius Ltd and former president of the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce. It will focus on identifying the key measures that can support the regional industry in the grip of the economic downturn, such as innovation and training, whilst also addressing its future opportunities for growth. Tom Riordan, Chief Executive of Yorkshire Forward said: "Manufacturing is a key component of our regional economy and it is vital that we support it as it works to manage the impacts of an incredibly difficult economic climate. "Yorkshire Forward is not in a position to cure the issues currently facing our regional economy, but we can ensure that all regional companies get the best support possible as they fight to survive this downturn and equally importantly, prepare for the recovery."
