What stood out most from this panel wasn’t just the insight, it was the alignment. Everyone agreed that UK manufacturing isn’t just viable, it’s vital. But if we want to scale it, we need more than goodwill. We need infrastructure, investment, and a change in mindset from the top down.

Legislation would help. Visibility would help. But the panel agreed we need to make the public care. We need to tell better stories. And as Nick said, we already have the ingredients. It’s time to bake the cake.
