We Are Wakefield members and first timers will enjoy a morning of networking and collaboration.

Join us at the next We Are Wakefield event at Nostell Priory as we launch the We Are Wakefield Manufacturing Forum — a new initiative created to strengthen not only our district’s manufacturing sector but the entire WAW community.

The forum will champion the achievements of Wakefield’s makers and producers, raising visibility across the region and shining a light on the incredible talent within our network. By connecting manufacturers with the wider WAW community, the forum opens the door to meaningful collaboration — from new partnerships and supply chain opportunities to shared challenges and collective innovation.

With proven cost‑saving benefits through shared resources and knowledge exchange, the forum will support manufacturers’ growth while creating opportunities for other WAW members to engage, support, and benefit from a thriving sector. It also offers a gateway to CSR and talent development by bringing businesses closer to education providers and charities across the district.

Most importantly, the Manufacturing Forum will cultivate a unified voice — one that influences the future of manufacturing in Wakefield and strengthens the economic ecosystem that benefits us all.
