Elite Flag Ship Centre for Manufacturing UK
Elite Centre - Foundry Spoke (image above)
Funding has now been approved for a flagship Elite Centre for Manufacturing Skills (ECMS), due to open for business in August 2017.
This new Centre includes a new teaching foundry and associated patternshop, design suite and sand/met labs which will be used to support the training of the next generation of foundrymen and castings engineers - the so called 'Casting the Future Foundry Spoke'.
Clearly this is a very exciting development for our industry and we would welcome your support and input.
We are now looking to source equipment for melting, casting, moulding, sand reclamation, finishing and patternmaking as well as for additive manufacturing - indeed everything that you would expect to see in a modern teaching facility for foundry technicians.

A new normal at the airport
I traveled through London Gatwick airport for the first time recently. I realized that the number of flights have been reduced due to COVID-19 but, I had not realized quite how different the airport travel experience would be.
