From party conferences to rail and engineering exhibitions, the not-for-profit organisation said it will use each stage to amplify the voices and impact of its 2,200+ UK manufacturing members.
“There’s never been a more important time to fly the flag for British-made. British manufacturers are proving every day, one export at a time, that manufacturing connects more than components," John Pearce, CEO of Made in Britain, said in a statement.
“British manufacturers aren’t just surviving – they’re thriving, innovating, and playing a vital role in fortifying our economy, our communities, and our future. From interior design to into orbit - we’re making sure British manufacturers are seen, recognised, and valued for the great products they make and the impact they have on society. As the trademark for British manufacturing excellence, we’re on a mission to champion UK manufacturing.”
Made in Britain’s autumn tour begins at DSEI UK (September 9 - 12) in London, one of the world’s leading defence and security events, to highlight the role of British innovation and manufacturing in keeping the UK competitive in global markets. The organisation will then be attending the UK Metals Expo (September 10 - 11), to celebrate Britain’s world-leading metals industry and showcase the supply chain’s strength, innovation and global reach.
While Made in Britain said it is entirely apolitical, it will attend multiple political conferences in order to showcase the 'job-creating power' of the UK manufacturing industry. The organisation will visit the Liberal Democrat Conference (September 20 - 23), the Labour Party Conference (September 27 - October 1), and the Conservative Party Conference (October 5 - 8).
For Make UK National Manufacturing Day (September 25), it will inspire the next generation and spotlight how manufacturing shapes everyday life through innovation, resilience and creativity, while focusing on how to keep British manufacturing 'on track' with circular economy solutions and domestic innovation at the Rail Forum (September 25).
Finally, the Made in Britain Impact Awards (November 5) are set to honour manufacturing excellence, celebrating the innovation, resilience, and growth driving the sector forward, the organisation said.
From globally recognised firms like Polypipe, Vauxhall, Forterra and Tigerplay, to niche innovators like Lockabox, British Drum Co., and Forbes & Lomax, Made in Britain members represent the diversity and dynamism of UK manufacturing.
With political, industrial and consumer interest in provenance and sustainability at an all-time high, Made in Britain said it is using its autumn tour to make one thing clear: when it’s made in Britain, it matters.
