The Manufacturer January/February 2023

We’ve got plenty for you to enjoy in the first edition of 2023. Sustainability Manager at Gripple, Tasha Lyth, was named Young Manufacturer of the Year at last year’s TMMX Awards. Gripple as a company were crowned Manufacturer of Year. We caught up with Tasha to find out more about her career so far and what it meant to her to win. In our lead feature, we have a topic set to be high on agendas in 2023 – cyber security. As manufacturers continue at pace with their digital transformations, many are leaving themselves at the mercy of cyber criminals who are all too willing and able to take advantage of vulnerable companies. This edition also features a woman who has led her company to carbon neutrality, and insists it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. A collaboration between Rockwell Automation and coin manufacturers The Royal Mint. And a few features relating to the creation of skills, including a BAE Systems event from last year on the future of fighter jet support. Read on for all that and more.
