DON ’ T FEAR CHANGE
The manufacturing sector has evolved over the years and it will continue to do so in future .
Gone are the days of child labour and twelve-hour shifts ; now is the time of diversity and AI . So , don ’ t fear the next step – whatever it is . Employees should be encouraged to ask questions and make suggestions . Whether it is a social move , a technological breakthrough , or a mix of the two ( such as video meetings ), don ’ t fear change , but work alongside it .

Women make up only 29 % of the UK ’ s manufacturing workforce . The popular saying , ‘ you cannot be what you cannot see ’, here suggests that a networking event for women in manufacturing – or similar – could help to encourage new recruits and interns , with wisdom passed on from their peers .
By joining events put on for women in the sector and having the space to speak with those who have been in the sector longer than they ’ ve been alive , women can find guidance and peer support .
