Make it in Great Britain Campaign
Make it in Great Britain is a new campaign aimed at transforming outdated opinions of UK manufacturing. The campaign will culminate in an exhibition during Games time that will celebrate the successes of the manufacturing sector, challenge inaccurate views of manufacturing and encourage young people to consider a career in the industry.
To help overturn the myth that Britain ‘has no manufacturing industry’ the Business Secretary, Vince Cable has called on manufacturers across the country to help Government find up to 30 ‘industry champions’ to take part in, and support the Make it in Great Britain campaign.
The industry champions will be knowledgeable about manufacturing and will play an important role in challenging the current myths about UK manufacturing. They will identify and publicise British manufacturing successes and act as advocates for the campaign and the future of British manufacturing.
What it will involve?
Telling your personal story about manufacturing and be willing to spend time supporting the campaign in the run up to the exhibition.
