The Made in Group, including Made in the Midlands and Made in Yorkshire, is all about championing British manufacturing. One of the ways we do this is by creating a platform for manufacturers and businesses alike to connect, share best practice and work together.
Many of our members believe by being part o a group like Made in the Midlands or Made in Yorkshire, they are able to connect with other like minded businesses more easily and establish a level of trust they may not have had if they were not part of the same group. James Underwood, Managing Director of Micro-Mesh Engineering and FilterFinder, said:
“Made Membership has enabled us to increase our exposure within the UK and abroad and also presented opportunities for direct sales and supply chain improvement with other members.”
Here's just a few of our members who are working together as a result of being part of the Made in Group
