A key ingredient in the creation of Manufacturing Expo has been the involvement of an Advisory Board of UK experts, bringing together experience from across industry, trade associations, professional bodies, government and academia to help shape a programme of radically new events. Stephen Phipson CBE, chief executive, MAKE
UK is the current chair of the Advisory Board: “There has never been a more important time for our sector to pull together and to work together, to create a shared agenda, help promote and encourage manufacturing and engineering innovation, and see our sectors grow and Manufacturing and Engineering Week will do exactly that. “I am delighted to be part of the M&E Week
Advisory Board and that MAKE UK are a partner for this ground-breaking event.” MAKE UK champions and celebrates British
manufacturing and manufacturers. Representing 20,000 UK manufacturers, MAKE UK focuses on creating a supportive environment in which they can thrive, innovate and compete. As part of Nineteen Group’s support for
diversity and promoting women in engineering, half of the Advisory board is made up of prominent women in their respective fields. Manufacturing & Engineering Week is also
supported by many other leading organisations, including: the Women’s Engineering Society; the Institute of Export and International Trade; Napier; the Institution of Mechanical Engineers; the Manufacturing Technology Centre; the Advanced Propulsion Centre; High Value Manufacturing Catapult; Innovate UK; Made Smarter UK; and the UK government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
