We understand that adopting new technology can be daunting but we can support you throughout your journey to digitalisation. 

Are you a manufacturing leader looking to accelerate the growth of your business but struggling to understand the best route forward?

We can support you with:

  • Impartial advice from a team of digital specialists
  • Creating a digital roadmap for your business
  • Access to a digital native to help with technology strategy or implementation
  • Funding to support the purchase of hardware and software

Whilst continuing to offer support to SME manufacturers in the North West, Made Smarter adoption programmes will also be launched in the East, Yorkshire and Humber and the West Midlands in the coming months. More details will be available soon.

With other food producers cutting ranges to focus on volume, customers are looking for alternatives, which has created an opportunity for us. Orders from all areas of the business have increased, which means we are producing more. There is no doubt that without investing when we did, in the way that we did, with the help from Made Smarter, we would not be able to cope with this unprecedented increase in demand.
