The Manufacturer July/August 2020

This month, we feature numerous examples of manufacturers who have placed agility at the heart of their operation.

People like Guru Krishnamoorthy, CEO of Penlon – the Oxford SME sat at the heart of the national Ventilator Challenge, and Ali Burns, who played a key role in helping steer the Ventilator Challenge consortium.

Their reflections on leadership from the front lines are both humbling and inspiring in equal measure.

Elsewhere, we hear how a flexible IT infrastructure and a can-do attitude enabled RS Components to maintain the critical supply chains society relies on to keep moving, we explore what the future the holds for our embattled aerospace sector, and our regional spotlight turns its attention to the South West of England.

Elsewhere, you’ll find expert insight and advice from academics, leading technology providers, innovation specialists, business coaches and your peers.

And a tip of the hat to Stuart Moody who’s done a fantastic job redesigning our flagship publication.
