Epicor comes on board as sponsor for Young Manufacturer of the Year Award at The Manufacturer of the Year Awards.
The UK manufacturing is going through a period of profound and irreversible change. The impact of national and global economic, technological and political trends is transforming the way we make things, along with where and how we make them. There is no doubt that the next ten years holds a series of game-changing shifts for the UK manufacturing industry.
To survive in the evolving environment of the next ten years, the UK manufacturing sector needs to become responsive and innovative, ready to create and produce the products and services that will sustain a future generation. To be successful on this journey the manufacturing industry needs to attract and retain the brightest minds and sharpest new talent. The Young Manufacturer of the Year represents the future. It tells young people that manufacturing offers a wonderful and varied career. From the cocoon of a long outdated oil-and-overalls image, a revitalised, clean and innovative sector is emerging. Over the next decade manufacturing could become one of the most exciting, innovative and opportunity-rich sectors for young people to forge a career in.
It is for these reasons that Epicor has come on board as the official sponsor for this specific award.

The Manufacturer Director’s Conference 2014
As the flagship event The Manufacturer Directors’ Conference (TMDC) will focus on the drive for continued growth in the year ahead, addressing both the opportunity for innovation and investment that this will bring. High achieving leaders will impart their knowledge and give insight about how they plan to grow their business. This will be complemented by inspirational industry figures, key government members and leading academics who will discuss the trends and influences that are shaping the future of manufacturing.
This year’s event will once again be held at Birmingham’s ICC on November 26-27. For more information or to register your attendance, visit the TMDC website.
