The Manufacturer Podcast: Smart Manufacturing Week – from the show floor!

This episode was recorded from the show floor of Smart Manufacturing Week 2026.

We start by sharing a night out after day one of the event, which Joe summed up as “a fight, a pizza and a pint!” Hear further details on that.

Also take a listen to some sound bites from the show floor. We have an interview snippet with Alex Lee from British American Tobacco, and a word with Alistair Morris, Managing Director of Accu, just as a robot fight was about to take place as part of this year’s showcase exhibition, FightFest.

We’re currently working through the huge amount of footage that we gathered from the event, which you can see in video, audio and written form. But for now, take a listen to this latest podcast episode.
