Sally Howes, Director General of the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC), speaking last week at the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) annual lunch, outlined her industry's thoughts on the future and restated the importance of manufacturing to the UK economy Dr Howes said: "And manufacturing matters"

"It is vital to our economic well-being and I am convinced that manufacturing in the UK has a strong long-term future".

"Our future success lies in moving up the value chain - to become an industry of highly skilled workers, knowledge intensive, highly innovative and productive".

She also re-iterated MTA President Paul Maynard's earlier commitment to the new "Manifesto for manufacturing" which will be launched in the House of Commons early next year in conjunction with the EEF, which will put the case of the manufacturing industry to Government and the opposition parties ahead of the likely general election.
