Manufactured Yorkshire

Manufactured Yorkshire Goes International

Eight different countries are travelling to Huddersfield this June for the second Manufactured Yorkshire Trade Show to "Buy Local, Think Global".

USA, Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Thailand and Russia join Yorkshire manufacturers across the engineering and food & drink sectors to point out the export opportunities for each country and detail their areas of interest.

Manufactured Yorkshire 2015 (MY15) will take place on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th June at The John Smiths Stadium, Huddersfield and is set to attract nearly a thousand delegates. The purpose of this 2 day forum, which has already attracted the likes of HS2, Haribo, Cummins Turbo Technologies and central government is to strengthen supply chains regionally, nationally and internationally to bolster re-shoring, raise Yorkshires profile as a leader in Circular Economy and get more of the regions manufacturers involved in major contract opportunities.

Amongst the interactive workshops, Meet the Buyer sessions with Cummins Inc, HS2, Team Humber Marine Alliance, Morrisons and ASDA, the international focus carries on throughout the show with an International exhibition stand amongst nearly 100 manufacturers and suppliers across the show. On the second day of MY15, 8 UKTI Commercial Officers will be presenting the opportunities within their market of expertise for Yorkshire food and drink producers as well as businesses in the Advanced Engineering & Manufacturing sector.

Chrissie Slater, Event Director of MY15 said, "Doing business overseas is essential for the growth and expansion of British companies. Exporting has a positive impact on staffing, productivity, financial performance and longevity. Yorkshire manufactured products are very popular overseas due to a number of reasons. Yorkshire food and drink stands for high quality and is loved by many consumers overseas. Besides this, a large number of expats has to be taken into account; who always love to get a little taste of home. For that reason, overseas opportunities should be exploited by Yorkshire companies. As a key sponsor, UKTI has worked very hard to make these opportunities available to Engineering and Food & Drinks Manufacturers at MY15."

MY15 is free to all manufacturers, construction companies and buyers. Interest in the Trade Show can be registered now via www.manufacturedyorkshire.com
