Our friends at Lloyds Bank are supporting EMN Members again in providing a free visit to the national Manufacturing Technology Centre who provide Manufacturing Support Services (MSS). The MSS team is made up of experienced senior engineers and backed by the MTC to support manufacturing businesses from across the UK and Lloyds Bank sponsors them to provide support to SME’s.
The team at Lloyds have kindly offered to sponsor a visit down to the MTC in Coventry on Tuesday 14th October 2025 for EMN members.
Coach collection at Ramside Hotel, Durham at 7.00am and return to leave MTC at 2.30pm with a view to arrive back at Ramside for around 7.30pm
Following the last visit, several EMN members took advantage of MTC support.
The SME Support Guide from the Manufacturing Technology Centre explains all the challenges the MTC can assist SME’s to address including productivity, supply chain robustness, digitalisation, technology road mapping, technology adoption, and new product and process development.
They also offer a free no obligation 3 - 5 hr line walk service to gain a better understanding of your business by one of their senior engineers who will then look to suggest projects that can add value. Any support up until and including the line walk is free of charge with no future obligation as it’s part of the Lloyds partnership with the MTC.
This is genuinely a fantastic facility and an opportunity not to be missed.
