Bradford Manufacturing Weeks brings manufacturers, schools & young people together through tours, work experience, seminars, exhibitions and learning events held at manufacturer premises and key locations across the district.
This not-for-profit event relies on the generosity of key sponsors and supporters. Please join us, support us and help us to shape the future of Bradford’s manufacturing industry, and open the door of opportunity for our district’s young people.
Going from strength to strength, over the past 7 years Bradford Manufacturing Weeks has connected 16,000 students in the region with manufacturers, helping to launch many a career in the sector. The programme is administered by West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and SkillsHouse at Bradford Council.
Mark Cowgill, president of Bradford Chamber of Commerce, said: “Bradford has one of the finest manufacturing sectors in the country and Bradford Manufacturing Weeks has done so much good work in giving it new blood.
“Manufacturing can give you a well-paid, secure and incredibly interesting career that can take your work across the planet.”
Confirmed sponsors for the 2025 initiative include Natwest, Appris, University of Bradford, Azets, Schofield Sweeney, Produmax, Solenis and Make UK.
Sponsorship opportunities are now available for the 2025 programme, please contact bmw@wnychamber.co.uk for further information.

Why get involved?
Being a part of Bradford Manufacturing Weeks can have a positive effect on sustaining and developing the industry across our district. Offering to show students how you operate and the key roles within your organisation can provide valuable insight into the range of opportunities available in this sector. The Bradford Manufacturing Weeks project is intended to connect students with manufacturers, to not only foster a future workforce for the industry but also engage young minds with the diverse roles on offer.
