Small and medium manufacturers are currently facing an unprecedented number of challenges as a result of government policies and legislation:
- Dealing with the logistics and supply chain issues from Brexit
- Staff recruitment
- Transitioning to Net Zero
- Dealing with increasing pace of technology advancement adoption / Industry 4.0
- Access to finance
A manufacturing leadership forum focused on small and medium firms with ministerial support is needed to help firms grow and build back better.
