Dear DEMC Members,
I am delighted to share with you details of the inaugural National Manufacturing Day (NMD) which will take place on the 7th July 2022. The initiative is being led by our partner Make UK, and the whole sector are invited to participate. It will be a national celebration of UK manufacturing and a chance to raise the profile of the sector.
Manufactures will have the opportunity to showcase what they do, and be part of a national programme of events, giving people the chance to see manufacturing at its best and promote the exciting careers the sector has to offer.
You can sign up to take part here: www.makeuk.org/nmd
Once you sign up to take part you will be sent access details to the member only resources to help you plan your event (You will have Make UK member level access to the resources, provided you are registered with Make UK: makeuk.org/affiliate-member-registration)
A number of ways you can get involved:-
- Encourage your peers and supply chains to sign up to take part
- Make a plan for your open day including tours, demonstrations, Q & A’s with your team members
- Sharing social media posts and use the #NMD2022
- Sharing the educational resources with any schools, youth groups, charities and organisations in your area
- Send a press release to your local papers, radio, regional broadcast.
For more information, please email the Make UK team nmd@makeuk.org
We believe this is an excellent initiative and will be very happy to support you run an open factory event.
Best regards,
Dr Eddie Kirkby Economic Development Sector Lead – Engineering & Manufacturing
