The British Manufacturing Showcase is also being jointly supported by Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and Black Country Chamber of Commerce.

Companies and individuals who wish to take part are being invited to sign up as soon as possible with applications being considered on a first come, first served basis.

Johnathan Dudley, national head of manufacturing and Crowe’s Midlands managing partner, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity at a time when the eyes of the world are on Birmingham and the Midlands to showcase the best of British manufacturing to a global audience.”

The event also has the backing of the Department of International Trade and UK Export Finance and officials will be on hand to highlight the way the government can help manufacturers push through to the global marketplace.

M Dudley added: “All eyes are on Birmingham and the focus is on The Commonwealth, but this is also a golden opportunity to remind everyone across the globe of the innovation and expertise that UK manufacturing offers the world.

“The British Manufacturing Showcase, in conjunction with the Birmingham Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce, will be of huge interest to UK businesses looking to engage with existing exporters to share best practice on exporting and obtain guidance and support both from those businesses and government agencies too.”
