www.ukmfgunite.co.uk is now live and will
be the focal point of the initiative, offering
an online directory where companies can
find suppliers, opportunities and answers to
manufacturing concerns.
Each company will have a listing and
a description of what they do, with the
opportunity to post thought leadership
articles and best practice blogs, not to
mention provoking conversation with an
interactive forum.
There will also be a section for videos
showcasing collaborations, state-ofthe-art
manufacturing facilities and new
technologies being developed in the UK.
“With any new initiative, it’s great to get off
to a positive start with a few ‘wins’,” added
Garry.

#UkMfgUnite is looking to get to 100
members by the end of June. It is open
primarily to all manufacturers regardless of
size, sector or specialism and there is an
additional option for associate supporters
to join who are passionate about the future
of UK manufacturing.
The concept, which is not-for-profit, is
hoping to play a central role in bringing
work back to this country and building
supply chain capability so that we avoid
some of the issues seen during the early
stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We got this immediately when a request
was tabled for a UK manufacturer of cable
looms in high volumes to support the
Ventilator Challenge UK consortium. PP
Control & Automation successfully tendered
and is now in the process of manufacturing
50,000 units in just four weeks.
“This was quickly followed by two
members working together to source and
manufacture vital PPE, whilst another six
enquiries have been logged this week
alone.”
