Welcome Welcome to Make it British Live! in our new home at the Business Design Centre. When I first launched this trade show in 2014 its aim was two-fold - to help solve the problem of finding UK factories, and to rebuild the network that any good supply chain needs if it is to thrive. Five shows later and it is great to see that so many UK manufacturers, particularly the garment makers, are busier than they have ever been! Making in the UK is now more important than ever, as the sustainability of local supply chains is increasingly favoured over offshore production. Whilst increased interest in making in the UK has brought with it its own set of problems, such as skills shortages and capacity issues, not helped by the uncertainty surrounding the UK’s exit of the EU, this event demonstrates that the industry has enough resilience to overcome these challenges, and continue to thrive. Technology will play an increasingly important part in UK manufacturing in the years to come, which is why we have chosen to focus on it as a key part of many of the talks that will be taking place over the next couple of days. Our seminar programme is here to educate and inspire you with the lessons learnt by others; celebrating their successes and debating how we can improve even further. Equipping you with a practical plan that will allow us all to move forward as a combined force to rebuild manufacturing in the UK again. Go forth and Make it British!
