Why I'm building ManufacturingUK.org

Andrea Wilson, founder

Andrea Wilson in conversation

My mission is simple: to serve, connect, inform and support UK manufacturing SMEs.

Following the successful equity sale, five-year earn-out and exit from Hone-All Precision, I am now using more than 32 years of hands-on SME manufacturing experience, together with an extensive industry network, to help manufacturers grow, collaborate and thrive.

Through ManufacturingUK.org and my advisory work, I am committed to bringing together the people, organisations and resources that UK manufacturers need to succeed, creating a stronger, more connected manufacturing community built on collaboration rather than competition.
