How MAS can give you the competitive edge

It's clear that the structure of UK manufacturing is changing rapidly. In the current economic climate oil prices, raw material costs and interest rates are constantly fluctuating. When they rise the impact can be devastating and when they fall it doesn’t necessarily deliver instant benefits for companies who are committed to contracts negotiated when prices were higher. Generating one sixth of the UK’s overall wealth, two thirds of its exports and 3 million jobs, manufacturing plays an absolutely vital role in the UK economy.

MAS makes a difference by providing FREE practical help through our network of expert advisers and associates and information through updates on grants and funding.

The MAS offer addresses the needs of manufacturers through practical advice and guidance. The service is delivered by experienced Manufacturing Advisors and draws upon a network of world-class consultants. Together they have the skills and knowledge to tackle even the most complex of issues.

Since inception MAS has generated £9546m in added value for client firms. It has dealt with over 188,021 technical enquiries from manufacturers, carried out more than 31,318 free on-site diagnostic reviews and more than 14,089 in depth consultancy projects.
