“It’s
something we talk about every day here” said Managing Director John D’Angelillo

“The only way for automation in the UK to catch up with the rest of the world is to be positive
and continue to promote it.

“Having
someone like Lord Mike Whitby visit us gives us that exact opportunity, and we
hope it’s a message that he’ll carry with him to Parliament.”

During the
visit Lord Whitby also gave a speech to the entire Bauromat staff emphasising the
importance of manufacturing to the British economy and discussing how companies
like Bauromat is at the forefront of new technologies.

It was also touched on that despite manufacturing being considered to make up around 10% of GVA (Gross Value Added), Lord Whitby believes it to be more. This would allow governments to get a better idea of how important manufacturing is to the UK.
