Successfully piloted by the automotive sector since 2011, the scheme’s success has taken UK industry by storm, with fully 10 sectors participating this year. McLaren kicked off the month's events, giving the offices of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills a Silverstone-style makeover for a showcase of its Manufacturing Challenge – where schoolchildren were tasked with building and then racing their own motor- less vehicles along a track. Overseeing proceedings were Business Secretary Vince Cable and Alan Foster, Operations Director at McLaren. In the West Midlands, students were given backstage passes to the Jaguar XJ assembly lines at the firm’s Castle Bromwich plant, where they discovered the advanced manufacturing processes behind the firm’s flagship vehicle. The pupils also tried their hands at programming miniature robot arms, and took part in a special production challenge. BMW, Ford, Michelin, Toyota and Vauxhall all offered See Inside Manufacturing experiences of their own, while Nissan took over the exhibition space at the SMMT offices to tell the production story of its all-new Note – from design, to clay modelling, to full manufacture. Elsewhere, October saw further investment announcements across the UK automotive industry. Engine manufacturer Cosworth is to open a new £30 million ‘centre of excellence’, which will create 70 direct jobs and an estimated 200 in the supply chain. The University of Warwick, meanwhile, will be home to a new multi-million pound research centre working with staff from Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Motors European Technical Centre and others when its new National Automotive Innovation Campus opens in 2016 with support from the Higher Education Funding Council for England. Racing start for the next generation of engineers A joint government-industry initiative to encourage young people to consider a career in manufacturing moved into the fast lane when McLaren roared into Westminster. The McLaren Manufacturing Challenge formed part of the See Inside Manufacturing campaign and aimed to encourage students to think about engineering in a practical, hands- on sense by designing a motor-less vehicle that, just as in Formula 1, had to comply with strict regulations.

  • Barriers – Our Flexibility Is Our Strength
    A‐SAFE (UK) LTD • Introduction • 3D Warehouse & Barrier Application • Barrier Suitability & Loading • Fixing bolt data • General maintenance • A‐Safe – A Green option Click on image to play video A-SAFE BARRIERS – OUR FLEXIBILITY IS OUR STRENGTH A-Safe is the most innovative safety barrier system on the market. So innovative in fact, that it effectively makes conventional steel barriers obsolete by offering significant benefits in safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. WHY IS A-SAFE SO DIFFERENT? A-Safe products are Polymer-based, so they are far more flexible and durable than conventional steel barriers. Hit them with a vehicle and they will spring back into shape, rather than bending or buckling, thus cutting maintenance costs by greatly reducing the need for damage repairs. A simple concept and one that is already used in many other applications. For instance, the motor industry started fitting plastic bumpers to their vehicles years ago. A-Safe decided to use the same principle for their products, with outstanding results. SAFETY FIRST Although they are flexible, A-Safe barriers are extremely strong, effectively protecting your workforce, machinery, buildings and vehicles. All products are designed to meet the most stringent Health & Safety guidelines and are load tested to British Standards. COLOURING YOUR VIEWS A-Safe barriers feature a yellow and black colour scheme as standard, which enables both pedestrians and drivers to see at a glance where they should be and where they shouldn’t be. These colours are solid and highly resistant to scratching too, so no repainting is required. CUTTING YOUR COSTS Not only does A-Safe improve safety standards, it can also provide significant cost savings.

One hundred years ago to the day, the first ‘Bullnose’ Morris Oxford was built by William Morris just a few hundred metres from where the modern MINI plant stands. With a weekly production of just 20 vehicles in 1913, the business grew rapidly and over the century 11.65 million cars were produced, bearing 13 different British brands and one Japanese. Almost 500, 000 people have worked at the plant in the past 100 years and in the early 1960s numbers peaked at 28,000. Today, Plant Oxford employs 3,700 associates who manufacture up to 900 MINIs every day. Congratulating the plant on its historic milestone, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The Government is working closely with the automotive industry so that it continues to compete and thrive in the global race and the success of MINI around the world stands as a fine example of British BMW Group Company Postal Address manufacturing at its best.
