Time served engineers know that the quality of a finished component is often determined long before the first sheet of metal reaches the press.
Bringing Manufacturing into Product Design Earlier Saves Time, Cost and Risk Read More »
The £62.9 billion of aircraft and engine orders announced during the first four days of the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow has reinforced confidence across the UK aerospace manufacturing secto
When manufacturers look for ways to reduce production costs, the conversation often centres on automation, material prices or supply chain efficiencies. Yet some of the greatest opportunities to improve quality, reduce waste and shorten lead times occur long before the first component reaches the press.
Early Engineering Collaboration Delivers the Biggest Manufacturing Savings Read More »
As the doors open at the Farnborough International Airshow this week, the global aerospace industry once again turns its attention to the technologies, partnerships and manufacturing capability that will shape the next generation of flight.
Farnborough Puts Aerospace Manufacturing in Focus Read More »
The successful first piloted flight of Vertical Aerospace’s third full-scale eVTOL prototype is more than another flight test milestone. For manufacturers across the aerospace supply chain, it signals that one of Britain’s most ambitious aviation programmes is steadily moving from engineering development towards industrial production. The latest prototype, G-EVTB, has joined Vertical Aerospace’s expanding flight
The debate surrounding the Government’s steel strategy has placed renewed attention on one of the biggest challenges facing British manufacturing: securing reliable, cost-effective supplies of raw materials while maintaining the competitiveness of UK production.

For many manufacturing businesses, investment is often measured in new machinery, automation or factory expansion. At Birmingham-based HT Brigham Pressings, however, innovation is increasingly being driven by investment in people, knowledge and collaboration.
The global aerospace industry is entering a new era of sustained growth, with fresh market analysis forecasting the advanced aerospace materials sector will expand from $32.6 billion in 2025 to $51.2 billion by 2031.
HT Brigham Pressings has welcomed the launch of the new West Midlands Regional Defence and Security Cluster (RDSC), describing the initiative as a major opportunity to strengthen sovereign UK manufacturing capability and unlock new opportunities for British precision engineering businesses operating within defence supply chains.
