News: The Future of Manufacturing in Rotherham

By

The National Metals Technology Centre (NAMTEC) are hosting an event next month providing a forward look at the future of manufacturing.

The rescheduled event provides a timely opportunity to brief Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing (AEM) companies and support organisations on the current status of Government policy in regard to both the establishment and development of Local Enterprise Partnerships and the Government's plans in support of UK manufacturing.

The Government has identified a number of priority areas critical to driving business growth in the UK. These include the support of Technology and Innovation Centres, and the development of Growth Hubs designed to drive economic growth by stimulating Innovation and Technology, supporting Leadership and skills, providing access to finance and supporting export growth.

The presentations on the day will provide an overview of Government policy, identify what support is currently available for companies, and give an insight into developments occurring in a number of key market sectors.

Speakers include Richard Wright, Chair of the Yorkshire and umber manufacturing Steering Group, Dave Rugg of Rolls-Royce and Martin Conelly of Tata Steel.

There will also be opportunities to network with key supply chain companies, Government representatives, business support agencies and technology providers.

The event takes place at NAMTEC, Swinden House, Rotherham on February 10.
