Time to celebrate! The 20th anniversary issue of The Manufacturer kicks off by celebrating two-decades of championing UK manufacturing and serving as the “watering hole for ambitious manufacturers”. The Manufacturer sits down with Gunther Boehner, director of assembly at the impressive MINI plant in Crowley – a BMW-owned factory in era of Brexit, Industry 4.0 and skills shortages. Chair of UK’s Made Smarter (Industrial Digitalisation) Review, Juergen Maier, discusses why the UK sits atop a “burning platform”, and we explore the UK’s bike-manufacturing renaissance as the sector demonstrates that the UK doesn’t just win gold medals for riding bicycles.
