Who we are
Manufacturing, engineering and technology industries are helping to design, build and shape the future. They are the bedrock of the UK economy. We work on behalf of over 6000 of these companies, together employing close to a million people.
We understand the challenges they face, provide them with high-quality services and represent their interests to government. Whether they are cutting-edge global leaders or niche SMEs, we make a real difference to their business.
We help get our members ready for the challenges ahead. The ones they know about – and the ones they don’t.
What we do
As a trusted partner to businesses across Britain, we provide manufacturing and engineering support and advice as well as general business support to over 6000 manufacturing, engineering and technology companies.
We deliver services at a local level, working through a network of sites across England and Wales. By providing engineering and manufacturing support on each of these levels, it brings us much closer to the businesses we sustain - especially in our understanding of the issues they face.
Through our offices in London and Brussels, we stay equally close to government, influencing the way policy is made and alerting our members to any changes in legislation that might affect them.
