The Future of British Manufacturing

Organiser

The Future of British Manufacturing

Autodesk & The Manufacturer are proud to present the Future of British Manufacturing Initiative. We invite you to join senior level manufacturers to understand the trends that are shaping the design and manufacturing industry and how other companies are responding to them. Attend a regional FoMT event at a High Value Manufacturing Catapult Centre near you, where together we’ll explore:
1. The technology disruptors impacting the manufacturing industry
2. The 3 key Manufacturing trends emerging as a result
3. How manufacturers are embracing these trends to innovate, differentiate and compete globally

 

What is the initiative? 

It’s a hands on approach to enabling British design and manufacturing companies to increase their productivity, innovation and exports through what we call “repetitive advantage”. Our objective is to enable British manufacturers to design, make and sell great British products - everywhere. The Future of British Manufacturing initiative incorporates an online Future of Making Things (FoMT) readiness assessment, some FoMT regional events, an FoMT Fast Track programme and a national FoMT event at the end of the year. 

Who are Autodesk?

Autodesk, Inc., is a leader in 3D design, engineering and entertainment software. Since its introduction of AutoCAD software in 1982, Autodesk continues to develop the broadest portfolio of 3D software for global markets across the manufacturing, architecture, building, construction, and media and entertainment industries.

How can British design & manufacturing companies participate?

If you are a Managing Director or Senior Director of a British design & or manufacturing business then;

1. Start by self-assessing your level of readiness for the future by completing our online readiness assessment which will help you assess your current level of design and manufacturing agility and give you some instant feedback on ways to improve your readiness for the Future of making Things.

2. Next, register for and attend a Future of Making Things regional event at a High Value Manufacturing Catapult Centre near you. Come and understand the trends that are shaping the design and manufacturing industry around the world, and how other companies are responding to them. 

3. Everyone who has completed the diagnostic will be shortlisted for a Future of Making Things Fast Track session, which is an exclusive, one day master class in repetitive advantage delivered by industry experts who will guide you through how you can start getting your business ready for the Future of Making Things. 

4. Lastly we’ll be presenting the results of the diagnostic plus sharing the experiences of some of the companies who joined the Fast Track at a National FoMT day held later this year.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas. She was able to put me in contact with different organisations and people to find out answers to my questions and help me to solve some inquiries I was having. I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans. 

 

PALACIOS LTD,

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

Exeter Analytical (UK) Limited,

Thank you for the comprehensive and professional guidance

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
