November newsletter

In this newsletter:
- New research highlights growing UK manufacturing industry and infrastructure

- Keep up to date with the latest news from the Innovate UK funded Advanced Therapy Treatment Centre network and its partners on the new website

A report published last week by CGT Catapult showed that 2018 has marked the fourth consecutive year of increase in manufacturing cleanroom footprint. The UK industry already employs over 500 people full-time which marks an increase of 30% over last year full-time employment.

To support this continued growth CGT Catapult has launched a first-of-its kind apprenticeship programme, designed specifically to train and upskill individuals to develop, manufacture and deliver these advanced therapies at scale.

This increase in manufacturing capacity, together with the associated investment in new skilled individuals will result in significant growth in manufacturing capability, maintaining the UK’s leadership position in the development of these disruptive, potentially curative therapies.
