It’s the UK’s largest regional manufacturing technology, electronics and subcontracting exhibition and a show where you will stumble across thousands of engineering and electronics’ solutions.
The highly acclaimed Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Show was a resounding success in 2013 and according to its organisers, promises to be even better this time around.
Not only can you see the very latest technology, components, materials, products and services currently available, but the Show’s technical staff are always on hand to offer specialist advice that will improve your manufacturing processes, component sourcing, materials selection and overall business efficiency – not to mention your bottom line!
The Government has announced its fourth national infrastructure plan which includes over £375 billion of planned public and private sector investment.
The plan not only sets out investment for energy, transport, flood defence, waste, water and communications infrastructure up to 2030 and beyond but comes at the same time as six major insurers have revealed plans to collectively invest £25 billion in UK infrastructure over the next five years.
The Treasury believes the National Infrastructure Plan provides the visibility and improved certainty industry has been looking for in order to commit to big investments.
It is also suggested the plan shows the government is delivering a long term strategy to make sure the UK tackles decades of under investment and moving forward, is able to provide the infrastructure required to compete in the global race.
In the current economic climate, when all the news we see is about job losses, decline and closures it’s easy to forget that the UK has some great success stories.
Take the UK aerospace sector. A recent article in the Engineer by Jon Excell and Stuart Nathan highlights the fact that the UK has the world’s second largest aerospace sector, yet no-one really seems to recognise it.
The UK aerospace sector has bucked the trend of the economic downturn and continues to grow. UK firms design and manufacture some of the most talked about feats of engineering and the UK aerospace industry is recognised internationally as being one of the best in the world.
Subcon is an international show for the latest technology and the finest manufacturing services in the world dedicated to contract and subcontract manufacturing.
The event offers the opportunity to speak with hundreds of suppliers and discover new subcontracting solutions or manufacturing techniques you have never had before.
Subcon 2013 and Advanced Manufacturing broke all records with a significant 64 per cent increase in visitor numbers. The UK’s only exhibition of its kind ran alongside the new Advanced Manufacturing Show and The Engineer Conference. Organisers were understandably delighted that over the duration of the show, more than 4,100 visitors pitched up at Birmingham’s NEC.
Although the current recession has created difficulties in business, PRV Engineering has spent the last year establishing a platform on which they can confidently support their ambitious plans- 2013 is about building for the future.
CEO Simon Jones has invested £1.25million in the company over that 12 month period, primarily to increase the size and capacity of the unit from 29,000 to 38,000 square feet. As part of the overall development, PRV Engineering have also installed a state of the art crane with a 10 tonne overhead capacity. “These are exciting time for us,” said Simon, who confirmed that PRV has also returned to the construction industry from which they retracted several years ago.
Throughout Great Britain, and actually around the world, governments –both national and localised- have been seeking out signs of economic recovery and growth. Investors and legislators have been carefully watching all economic reports and indicators, interpreting data and attempting to provide assistance to companies and industries that show signs of strength. Thanks to PRV Engineering in New Inn, there are signs that manufacturing and engineering in the country are beginning to expand.
When the country is looking for any signs of economic growth and stability, during the past few years those signs have been meagre, to say the least. Today, though, PRV Engineering has announced that due to considerable growth during the past two years that we will be expanding its capacities and operations, with the intent of creating up to thirty new jobs over the next few years.
Manufacturing for an expanse of industries from Food and Chemical Processing, Railway, Aircraft and Automotive to Pharmaceutical, Petrochemical, Defence and Construction PRV Engineering is truly a one stop shop for your engineering requirements.
