Manufacturing Industry Expert UK Petition
Earlier this year a petition was launched in the UK for the UK Government to appoint a UK Manufacturing Industry Expert. Thank You to Andrea Wilson for doing this.
The petition can be found on the Petition Parliament website https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/710642
As of today, 10th April 2025 we are almost 2 months into the signing of the petition and it will run for another 4 months.
There are 1,119 signatures on it. The UK Manufacturing workforce is estimated at 2,700,000.
That means just 0.04% of the UK manufacturing workforce has signed it. 0.04% is that the best we can do?
It has mostly been found on Linkedin and featured in online articles to date.

If we are too be taken seriously we need to at least achieve the 10,000 signatures to get Parliament to respond to the petition.
