The show is the partner event to the successful Southern Manufacturing show and follows a similar format and scope, but with a distinct regional focus reflecting the unique character of engineering enterprise in the area.

For the first time the show is partnering with several national and regional industrial organisations, drawing on their expertise and local knowledge to fine-tune the event to the needs of the manufacturing supply chain across the region. The event is supported by the two main regional aerospace and automotive business organisations, the North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) and the Northern Automotive Alliance (NAA). The aerospace sector in the North West accounts for roughly a quarter of the UK’s £32bn aerospace business, employs some 25,000 skilled workers and supports a rich eco-system of suppliers throughout the country. The North West automotive cluster employs some 16,200 people and directly generates some £9bn, or 12 percent, of the total UK automotive manufacturing output, placing it as the second most significant region for automotive manufacture in the UK.
