MID WALES MANUFACTURING GROUP

About MID WALES MANUFACTURING GROUP

Mid Wales Manufacturing Group was set up in 1994 by a group of manufacturing and engineering companies with the aim of working together more closely. The Group has grown to over 140 members across Mid Wales. The Group is owned by the members and run by a non executive Board of Directors elected from that membership. This Board also sets the strategy and priorities ranging from working with young people to promote the opportunities available in the industry locally and the importance of STEM. We are currently working with local authorities and Welsh Government on industrial property requirements and ensuring future demand to promote growth, working together on skills and training needs, and developing local supply chains. You need to be working in the sector to be eligible for membership which starts at £50 per year. The group is a member of the Central Wales Economic Forum and sits on the Board of the Powys Regeneration Partnership, Grow Mid Wales and the Regional Learning & Skills Partnership for South West & Mid Wales. The group has a strong record of achievement and performance. Since its founding in 1994 the group has grown from being run by a Board of Directors on a part time basis to employing three highly-experienced staff. The Group is credited with founding the award winning Shared Apprentice scheme and launching 'Lean Methodologies' into Mid Wales as well as facilitating the profitable growth of many new and small businesses.
