World Class Manufacturing in the UK

Manufacturing, however you define it in this global economy, is an enduring UK success story - the country with the twenty-second largest population is still the seventh biggest in terms of manufacturing output.

As a resilient performance in the recession has demonstrated, reports of its demise (to coin a phrase) have been somewhat inaccurate.

In fact, UK manufacturing companies demonstrate, indeed set, worldclass standards.

This report commissioned by BDO identifies the characteristics which enable manufacturers to prevail, and the challenges which have to be addressed, and  considers the views of a number of directors whose companies have made an impact, including John Fulford (MD - Dytecna), Mark Curtis (MD - Vision Engineering), Phil Stone (CEO - Cash Bases), Ben Davies (MD - Aeroform), Chris Woods (Chairman - ACW Technology), Simon Barker (Operations Director - Xtrac), Chris Dunnett (MD - International Process Technologies), Julian Baseley (Chairman - Earlex).
