Michele Fordyce, Head of Information and Research
Our team of information specialists can offer detailed information to help members plan ahead, consult, communicate and carry out consistent plans. As well as the day-to-day enquiries covering issues of the moment, our information professionals take on bespoke projecs for members.
One example is Lucy Electric, manufacturer and exporter of electrical switchgear, an essential protective component of electrical distribution systems.
The company was considering setting up its own manufacturing facility in Asia. it asked us to provide detailed background information on four economies in the region covering areas such as tax, intellectual property, infrastructure and employment. The result helped Lucy Electric make an informed decision on one of its offshore locations.
As part of our bespoke survey offering, we carried out a tailor-made pay survey for Huntsman Pigments and Polyurethanes on Teeside, covering selected manual roles in the north east chemicals industry. Our detailed report covered pay, bonuses and benefits and provided the member with a comprehensive profile of pay conditions.
Our information specialists are dedicated to the manufacturing sector. they have the expertise and resources to help you investigate potential markets, develop in new sectors, profile the people and companies that matter to your business and identify innovative opportunities for growth.
