Thanks for sharing BIDDULPH HIGH SCHOOL, it was a privilege to welcome your students on site as part of Make UK’s National Manufacturing Day! #NMD2024

Happy National Manufacturing Day! As members of Make UK we celebrated National Manufacturing Day today by opening our doors to give students from BIDDULPH HIGH SCHOOL the opportunity to see behind the scenes and inside a working factory to demonstrate the breadth of roles available within the modern manufacturing and engineering. We discussed the variety of careers and many different pathways to employment in a thriving sector that accounts £224 billion of UK output, 41% of R&D and nearly half of the country’s total exports whilst employing over 2.6 million highly skilled people in the UK. The tours of our Bridging and Boxer facilities were definitely the highlights and we look forward to welcoming the students back some day soon as programme managers of the future! #WeAreKNDS #KNDS #NationalManufacturingDay #NMD2024 #Manufacturing #Engineering #UKMfg

With significant progress made in the #UK #BOXER Programme over the last two years, and the British Army heralding the BOXER as a central element to their future land fighting power, the BOXERs were one of the centrepieces of this event with a number of variants on display (including command, infantry and specialist carrier variants) as well as a dynamic demonstration of the impressive BOXER capability live around the UTAC test track. Ms. Alexandra Alonzi MSc MSci, the BOXER Programme Manager from OCCAR, was invited to present alongside the (NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA)) and the British Army, highlighting the cooperative nature of the programme delivery. To an international audience of military, governmental and defence industry, Ms. Alonzi was able to present an overview of the current and future BOXER Programme, highlighting the advantages that international cooperation through OCCAR and other partners has brought to all involved nations in developing and advancing the BOXER capability rapidly and effectively. The British Army furthermore shared their plans for their #BOXER pipeline and future variants, which will continue to modernise and diversify the BOXER family. OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation) is working closely with #UK stakeholders to advance planning and contracting activities, as well as supporting all other BOXER nations with their future aspirations, and further exciting developments are expected to be announced in 2025.
