Manufacturing Month returns to challenge and champion sector

Manufacturing Month, which showcases the success and strength of Northern Ireland’s manufacturing and engineering sector, is set to return this May.

Led by representative body Manufacturing Northern Ireland, the entire month will be dedicated to shining a spotlight on the companies, workers, and visionaries who all contribute to making Northern Ireland’s manufacturing sector the global success story that it is.

Manufacturing Month’s flagship Anchor High Summit will take place on Thursday 30 May at The Slieve Donard Hotel, culminating in a Gala dinner to celebrate and close off the month of activity.

With a strong focus on challenging manufacturing and engineering companies to become more neuro-diverse and menopause-friendly workplaces, the event will feature a speaker lineup of industry experts and pioneering leaders to inspire the next generation, highlight the wide range of career opportunities in manufacturing, and encourage local firms to future-proof the industry.

The month is sponsored by some of Northern Ireland’s leading companies and organisations including Barclays, Invest Northern Ireland, Mills Selig, Reliance Automation, KPMG, and Smart Manufacturing Data Hub.
