More good news - a new survey of 367 manufacturers shows
growth in orders it at its highest rate since 2011.
Stephen Gifford, CBI Director of Economics, says that
although confidence is building in the sector, now is not the time to take the
foot off the gas: “There are still risks ahead and our manufacturers need help
to break into high-growth markets.”
Luckily, Herts Chamber is responding to Mr Gifford’s last point - it is launching a brand new Engineering & Manufacturing Network next week, an
initiative built on collaboration and innovation. More specifically, the network sets
out with six objectives, to:
1. Support both local supply chains and
international trade
2. Share best practice between larger organisations
and SMEs
3. Set-up fact finding site tours
4. Accelerate knowledge-transfer by providing
academia links
5. Address skills shortages through a local
education programme
6. Raise the profile of the engineering &
manufacturing scene
A better connected manufacturing industry in Hertfordshire
will boost growth further, and it is the Chamber’s mission to ensure these
connections happen. Neville Reyner CBE, Chairman of environmental charity
Groundwork, will host the network’s first event, an opportunity for people to
input their ideas on how the network can progress.
Join this free event next Tuesday
