Happy #ValentinesDay from Marketing Lancashire

This year, we joined a number of other prominent business owners from the area for @LancashireLife's piece "Love Letters to Lancashire" which you can read here: https://t.co/fqZEYTT9VP

In addition to the written piece, Marketing and Partnerships director Vikki Harris recorded hers and we wanted to share it to mark the day. Enjoy 🌹

The 65-year-old from Fulwood had been a stalwart of the business advice team helping hundreds, maybe thousands of people, over the past two decades.

His 'cool, calm and compassionate' nature has been praised. RIP Yusuf. 💙 @BoostInfo

Lancashire Apprentices Transform Manufacturing with 3D Printing!

At @AddisonPrecLtd in Lancashire, apprentices are turning weeks of fixture lead time into just hours, all thanks to our Advanced Manufacturing Skills Bootcamps.

In just six months, local apprentices have designed and produced their own jigs, fixtures and tooling, sharing their knowledge with senior machinists and driving innovation across the factory floor.

“The fact that we’ve got guys younger than 21 completely changing the way we manufacture is amazing,” says Matt Sellers, Apprentice Training Lead.

Additive manufacturing is now essential to operations and Addison plans to put every future apprentice through the programme.

Unlock the same potential for you or your team. Access these DfE funded Advanced Manufacturing Skills Bootcamps, either free or heavily subsidised, and start transforming the way you work today.
