Manufacturing news, articles & research, updated daily. Organiser of elite events for manufacturing thought leaders.
Hi Reader,
Last week was National Apprenticeship Week and we featured 20+ articles on our website showcasing the ? great work ? apprentices and companies are doing across the sector.
Although the week has ended, we’ll continue to highlight the next generation of manufacturers and engineers. Be sure to keep an eye on our website and our Tuesday Leadership & Strategy briefings for more articles on that!
Today, we've got the latest episode of the podcast (although I was absent - it wasn't because of man-flu), the rest of the team discuss Joe's visit to Paris and it features a snippet of an interview with Charlie Kingsley, Corporate Sustainability Manager for Suntory Global Spirits Beverage & Food GB&I. Make sure to check it out. ??
Enjoy!
