Nottinghamshire Manufacturing Network

From a once thriving area, North Nottinghamshire’s economy was decimated virtually overnight with the end of coal mining. For decades, it has struggled to attract inward investment but its coal-mining heritage has also been the catalyst for high-precision engineering and all things metal.

Boosting excellent country-wide connections due to its proximity to the M1 and A1, the area has also quickly evolved to become a sizeable hub for warehousing and distribution.

Home of the Nottinghamshire Manufacturing Network is NTU in Mansfield, an innovative hub of Nottingham Trent University, helping to serve a local community beyond Nottingham city centre.

East Midlands Manufacturing Network Members are also invited to host East Midlands Manufacturing Network meetings, providing an opportunity to showcase their manufacturing facilities to their peers across the region.
