Best practice shared between UK manufacturersA new award has been launched that honours the best manufacturing clusters in the UK.

Such networks bring together companies and organisations in specific regions to share knowledge and best practice in order to drive growth and continuous improvement in the sector.

The Cluster Marks have been presented by business minister Ian Lucas at a ceremony at Lancaster House in London in recognition of the contribution of such activities to economic growth and innovation.

Intended to raise the profile of clusters in the UK production sector, an independent judging panel was appointed to select the winners, which came from a range of industries, including seagood, biomedical science and aerospace.

Mr Lucas declared: "In order to succeed globally in a low carbon future, the sector must keep evolving and innovating. This is where collaboration can make a huge difference."

Those planning to complete operations training courses are advised the UK''s index of production fell in January by 1.5 per cent year-on-year, making such initiatives more important than ever.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19691508-ADNFCR
