The Institution of Mechanical
Engineers is on the lookout for the
UK’s best manufacturers as it
launches Manufacturing Excellence
2012. Philippa Oldham, head of
manufacturing at the Institution,
said: “Manufacturing Excellence not
only identifies and celebrates
outstanding UK manufacturing
businesses but can help underperforming
companies improve.

“Entry is free and there is up to
£20,000 free consultancy advice up
for grabs as well as the chance to win
at the prestigious Manufacturing
Excellence Awards in November.”
Manufacturing Excellence works
with all manufacturing businesses,
whatever their size, age, sector or
area of expertise to help improve
their processes and showcase their
successes and innovations. It is run
in partnership with The ERA
Foundation, Lombard and WMG
and sponsored by Arup.
