The midlands is an extensive area of the UK, and many thousands of specialist companies operate in this area, with a small percentage of them producing more CO2 emissions than the rest combined. The Made In The Midlands COIN aims to bring all these companies together, so that bonds of partnership can be made, and innovitive ideas can be encouraged and brought to fruition. It is centralised on the Made In The Midlands Group, who works closely with companies in an around the Midlands to: - To open a channel of communication within local firms to source and supply locally where possible, - To upskill and reskill workforces, and finally - To promote good news from manufacturing businesses in order to counteract the adversity in the media that ultimately undermines confidence. The group is now the largest private manufacturing network in the region, representing more than £120bn of UK manufacturing, which consists of 500 firms with a turnover of £2m+ a year. 85% of the group are owner-managed SMEs focused on collaboration and networking.
