Manufacturing Forum

What we do

The role of the Forum is to ensure the effective implementation and evolution of the Manufacturing Strategy. The Forum brings together Government, industry, trade unions, Regional Development Agencies, and other stakeholders to support manufacturing.

At its first meeting in December 2004, the Forum agreed to focus specifically on three priority areas: skills, public procurement, and image of manufacturing. It is instigating new research into all three of these areas.

The Forum;

  • Monitors the progress of the Manufacturing Strategy and comments on and helps steer policy that impacts on manufacturing

  • Engages actively in areas where increased participation of business, unions and other stakeholders can make a significant impact

  • Helps to promote key messages on manufacturing and develop the profile of the manufacturing sector

  • The Forum is expected to produce a concise annual report on delivery of the Manufacturing Strategy, and an assessment of overall health of the manufacturing sector based on key performance indicators.
