Bradford Manufacturing Week (8th – 12th October 2018) is a four-day unique event to showcase the district’s manufacturing might and inspire, encourage and educate young people around the opportunities for a fulfilling and rewarding manufacturing career.

The inaugural Bradford Manufacturing Week saw students from over half of the district’s secondary schools take part in more than 3,000 first hand manufacturing experiences, over the course of one week. Local manufacturers, business leaders and politicians made a difference by getting involved. The media and social media campaign reached over 22 million people, bringing the initiative to the attention of the Prime Minister, Theresa May who backed the week, approving of the efforts to enable future generations to see the potential of a career in the manufacturing industry and congratulating Bradford Chamber of Commerce, as well as the sponsors and businesses taking part, for making it happen.
