National Manufacturing Day 2024

Warren will open up to 260 primary school children as part of Make UK’s National Manufacturing Day celebrations on 26 September 2024

Warren will open up to primary schools in the local community on National Manufacturing Day to showcase first-hand the amazing careers that are available in Britain’s manufacturing sector.

During the day the company will put on a series of tours and interactive activities, designed to demonstrate what manufacturing is really about.

Warren has been part of the Thetford community, manufacturing for over 30 years.

Will Bridgman, Warren’s Managing Director said:

“We are delighted to be taking part in National Manufacturing Day and have the chance to show our products, processes, tools and people. We can’t wait to welcome so many young learners!”

To make it easy to see what’s going on across the local area, Make UK has created a dedicated microsite www.nationalmanufacturingday.org where companies taking part will post what they produce and detail the events they are planning for National Manufacturing Day itself.

Manufacturing covers a wide range of sectors including aerospace, engineering, chemical and pharmaceutical, food and drink, defence, automotive and renewable technologies. So there will definitely be something around on the day to interest everyone.

Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, the manufacturers organisation added:

“This is a really exciting day where the whole manufacturing sector will come together to celebrate the amazing things that Britain designs and makes.

“Britain’s manufacturing companies are at the forefront of global renewable technology development and some of the most innovative engineering developments seen anywhere around the world.”
