Manufacturing innovation highlighted by BIS exhibitionA new exhibition unveiled by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is intended to encourage and attract talent to the manufacturing sector.

The show has been created to highlight innovation in the industry and will form part of a series of planned events based on excellence in the fields of engineering, design and manufacturing.

Curated at the BIS headquarters in London, the theme of the event is the engineering supply chain, something which may be of interest to those concerned with production and inventory control.

Exhibits have been provided for displays at the BIS exhibition by Renishaw, JCB and Craftsman Tools, with highlights including a Backhoe Loader JCB painted with a Union Jack.

Commenting on the event, business minister Mark Prisk said: "Britain is a world leader in manufacturing but if we are to inspire future generations we must do all we can to promote UK excellence."

The industry is responsible for an estimated 2.8 million UK jobs and 53 per cent of all exports from the country, with recent data from EEF - the manufacturers' organisation and BDO showing that output and orders are rising, boosted by high demand from overseas.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800056980-ADNFCR
