Are you focused on Growing Your Business, Growing Your Profits?

Our Made for Manufacturing programme has been continuously improved for 2023 to now include an in person factory visit to the prestigious Siemens site in Congleton. This is in addition to the in person factory site visit to Atec Engineering Solutions in Salford. Manufacturing excellence has an end goal: Improved quality, better lead times, reduced costs. This creates satisfied customers, which leads to more customers. Through a combination of good practice tours, expert speakers, peer-to-peer learning, and tailored one-to-one support from a specialist Manufacturing Advisor – this programme supports senior manufacturing leaders to hold a mirror to their business, maximise profits, achieve the best possible quality, and develop the best possible people. The focus of the programme is 'Measure Something. Do Something. Learn Something.' A format of short dynamic workshops is designed so that clients can lead rapid improvement activities in the workplace immediately and learn from the outcomes.

The next Made for Manufacturing Programme will begin on 23rd February 2023. Please complete the Expression of Interest Form here or contact Nick Brandwood, Programme Manager on nick.brandwood@growthco.uk or 07718 301 235 to discuss the programme
