In this episode we discuss with Richard Spears from PP Control & Automation and Rowan Crozier MBE from Brandauer what networking means in 2024, the importance of collaboration, and the opportunities that networking can offer manufacturing.

In this episode we explore AgriTech with Emilio Loo Monardez from WMG and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the sector.

Joined by Stuart Whitehead from Jefferson and FactoryNOW, we discuss the often negative light cast over UK manufacturing, how the UK compares to other markets, and how we can proactively champion UK manufacturing.

The UK is the 8th largest manufacturing nation, however, the UK comes in at number 25 on the robot density league table. What are the barriers to adoption and what opportunities does robotics and automation open up? Joined by Mike Wilson from Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), our host Alex Edwards leads the conversation on the current state of robotics and automation in the UK, changing perspectives, and emerging technologies on the horizon.

In a recent study by The Royal Society, in partnership with EngineeringUK, they found that in school students only 16% of girls said a career in engineering is suitable for someone like them compared to almost 44% of boys. Why is there such a stark difference between STEM uptake in males and females? And how can we resolve this? For a special podcast episode launched to support INWED24 our host Alex Edwards had the pleasure of being joined by Insha Shaikh, Mechanical Engineering student at University of Warwick and President of Warwick Women in Engineering and Science Society, to explore why adoption is so low in females, how we can change this, and Insha’s own experiences in engineering and tech.

With almost 25% of the current engineering workforce set to retire in the next four years, our host, Alex Edwards, joined by Adam Tipper from Next Gen Makers, seeks to explore the experiences faced by apprentices and the best practices companies can deliver to retain young talent and rebuild the workforce.

Our host, Alex Edwards, joins Sadie Peacock from Renishaw to explore how diversity in engineering fuels innovation and how a range of perspectives can create stronger, more inclusive solutions.
