Another Great Event from Make UK

Thank you to Berwick Partners for hosting an online discussion with Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK on the effect of the crisis on UK manufacturing.

The event covered the huge Manufacturing sector changes and @Make UK’s campaign for the sector to come back stronger and more resilient. Stephen Phipson opened the event stating that the manufacturing sector stands ready to lead the recovery. Exciting times!

Outlined how vital the UK manufacturing sector is being responsible for 44% of UK exports, 66% of R&D investment and before lockdown employing 2.7m people.

The takeaway points for me were certainly around the interesting opportunities with hydrogen fuel cell technology for everything from trains to domestic heating, but even more so with carbon capture. Great to hear the potential for the UK to be a world leader in Carbon Capture about the governments existing pilot programs and their £40m investment into the new technology.
