Why We Created Manufacturers Hub
We founded Manufacturers Hub to address a pressing need in the UK manufacturing sector.
Too often, smaller manufacturing businesses struggle to gain visibility, connect with the right partners, and secure consistent work. With our slogan, “Get Found, Get Work, Get Busy!” we aim to change that.
Manufacturers Hub is a platform designed to unite manufacturers, promote local businesses, and bridge the gap between councils, universities, associations, and companies. By showcasing manufacturing businesses across over 40+ categories, advocating for government support such as tax relief and apprenticeships, and creating opportunities for collaboration, we strive to create a thriving ecosystem for the industry.
What Our Business Model Contributes
Our platform provides a space for manufacturing companies to advertise their services, connect with potential clients, and showcase their expertise.
In addition, we are building partnerships with county councils to enhance local economic growth and promote sustainability within the sector.
We also plan to expand our services by introducing a 'Subcontract Bolt-on', bringing work to our premium members to further support the industry’s growth.
Our Future Prospects
Looking ahead, our vision is to become the go-to resource for the UK manufacturing industry.
We aim to:
1 - Foster stronger partnerships between manufacturers and local authorities.
2 - Expand our platform’s capabilities to include job boards, apprenticeship opportunities, and more resources for businesses.
3 - Champion the interests of manufacturers by making the manufacturing industry more efficient, helping SMEs get the visibility they need to Get Found, Get Work, and Get Busy!
At Manufacturers Hub, we are more than just a platform; we are your partner in building a stronger, more connected, and more resilient manufacturing community. Join us on this journey and be a part of the change we’re creating for the industry we love.
We're working alongside Authorities to help forge a better future for the UK's Manufacturing Industry.
