Industry and regions minister Margaret Hodge today announced a step forward for the Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) while on a visit to Sheffield today.
The business diagnostic service will offer all small and medium-sized manufacturing firms up to four days free advice from April next year.
MAS will also extend its range of help and advice including strategic planning and skills development; sourcing materials, services and technology; management and operational advice on all aspects of company business; improving the performance and operation of the supply chain; and improved resource efficiency in both energy and waste.
Speaking at Independent Forgings and Alloys in Sheffield, a firm that has already benefited from MAS advice, Margaret Hodge said:
"MAS is a great success and I want to keep it a success. The Government will keep working with the CBI, the EEF, TUC and all our manufacturers to make sure the manufacturing strategy and the Manufacturing Advisory Service deliver for Britain."
