Welcome to the first issue of The Manufacturer magazine for 2025.
In this issue we get the latest from the manufacturing sector in Northern Ireland; take a look at the aerospace and defence industry in our sector focus; and we delve deeper into the beverage industry with features on Clearly Drinks and Suntory Beverage & Food Great Britain & Ireland.
We also ask what the country’s prison system can do for manufacturers; and speak to several industry bodies about the importance of apprenticeships and T-levels. All this and more in this issue.
