Connect with the most advanced thinking in building technologies

The Heart of England provides the perfect location for offsite manufacture in the UK, with 75% of the UK's population within half a day's drive of central Birmingham.

What’s more, manufacturing skills and expertise are abundant in the region with 15% of the workforce engaged in manufacturing and universities and colleges especially strong in engineering and materials skills. There’s also easy access to specialist building technology support from a number of bodies and established networking groups to facilitate information exchange.

As you’d expect, local and national government bodies are keen to encourage building technology investment into the region and various grants and incentive schemes are available.

Recticel

A location in Stoke-on-Trent gave Recticel Insulation Products a great head start on their journey to becoming the internationally known company that they are today.

With superb road access to the rest of the UK, their products can be distributed nationwide fast. The local workforce is highly skilled and quick to learn new processes. The availability of building land for manufacturing premises is also vitally important. Advantage West Midlands contributed to Recticel’s success not just with a grant but also by helping to connect them with a network of like-minded local companies. Just as importantly, the Heart of England’s beautiful countryside and warm, welcoming people make for an ideal work/life balance.
