Hi there listener - we have another special episode for you to mark National Manufacturing Day 2022.
Today, as part of a UK-wide Open House, and to celebrate NMD, manufacturers are opening the doors to their factories and sites and inviting people in for a behind-the-scenes look at how their facilities work. Make UK are heading this up in partnership with a host of UK manufacturers, in a bid to showcase the diversity of our sector, the range of highly skilled jobs on offer and the amazing opportunities for reskilling and career development within manufacturing. Jamie Cater, Senior Policy Manager at Make UK starts by giving an overview of National Manufacturing Day.
We also look back over some high profile interviews that we've conducted over the last year, to give you a taste of the issues affecting manufacturers, and what the sector, as well as government can do to drive a continuation of innovation, sustainable growth and diverse workforces, to name but a few aspects.
Listen back to interviews with Lee Rowley, Industry Minister and Member of Parliament for Northeast Derbyshire, Lord Karan Bilimoria, President of the Confederation of British Industry, (CBI) founder of Cobra Beer and a cross party peer in the UK House of Lords and Rosa Wilkinson, Policy Director at The High Value Manufacturing Catapult.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
