New network aims to boost collaboration

Manufacturers are being invited to join a new region-wide, business-led support network delivered by East Midlands Chamber.

The East Midlands Manufacturing Network aims to help manufacturers share best practice and experience in a trusted peer environment; focus on issues and challenges that are a priority for manufacturing businesses; better understand the financial support on offer for their industry and tap into specialist consultancy and advice on regulation and compliance.

The new network is one of many initiatives made possible by the UK Community Renewal Fund, which the chamber is delivering, along with academic and other business support partners, under the East Midlands Accelerator project.

Diane Beresford, deputy chief executive of East Midlands Chamber, said: “The East Midlands is a region with a strong manufacturing heritage and with the potential to have an equally strong future.

“What better way to secure the future success of manufacturing in our region than by bringing together key knowledge and skills to form a dedicated, supportive peer network. That’s why it’s so important the chamber leads on this.”

The network will be officially launched at the Belfry, in Nottingham, on Tuesday 22 March. For more information please click here.
