Some consider the days of manufacturing and industry in the UK
to be dead, and for a brief historic period this may have been
somewhat the case, however
times are changing and the UK
manufacturing and engineering industry
has been gaining considerable speed.
With British manufacturing already being
highly regarded for its quality and sturdy
engineering, the last few years have been
more about bringing that quality to an
increasing number of companies and
showcasing British engineering standards.
Free for manufacturers and buyers of
any type to attend, Manufactured
Yorkshire (MY15) is a leading trade show
which brings together manufacturers of
all shapes and sizes to provide industryrelevant benefits and opportunities.
“Cutting to the chase, we're giving you
value for time and money,” explains
MY15, which traditionally attracts over
1,000 delegates over a two day period
and is a must-see for any and all manufacturing industry professionals.

This year, Manufactured Yorkshire was
overjoyed to see eight different countries
travel to Huddersfield for the second
Manufactured Yorkshire Trade Show to
"Buy Local, Think Global". USA, Belgium,
Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Romania,
Thailand and Russia joined Yorkshire manufacturers across the engineering and food &
drink sectors to point out the export opportunities for each country and detail their
areas of interest.
The purpose of this 2 day forum, which
attracted the likes of HS2, Haribo, Cummins
Turbo Technologies and central government
was to strengthen supply chains regionally,
nationally and internationally to bolster reshoring, raise Yorkshire's profile as a leader
in Circular Economy and get more of the
regions manufacturers involved in major
contract opportunities.
