At JRI we’ ve got a well-developed and integrated supply chain from across Yorkshire and the Humber. For example, in the world of orthopaedics, we’ ve got suppliers producing forgings and castings to very high quality standard which we then turn into precision machined implants. We also have a wellconnected network of hospitals who use our products within the region.
Manufacturing and supply chain can play a key part in the Northern Powerhouse. One of the ways in which the strength of the UK economy was built was through entrepreneurial engineers- people who developed something new, manufactured it and then exported it. The Sheffield City Region, for example, is definitely central to UK manufacturing, with strong engineering links to Universities such as Sheffield Hallam University.
