Amphenol Invotec four year plan
This final approval stage will kick start a 4 year Continuous Sustainable Improvement Plan to further enhance our service levels and competitive ability. This will ensure that the Amphenol Invotec will continue to meet the future demands of its customers across all sectors specifically aerospace and defence.
SiG background
SiG is designed to raise the capability of selected companies within the UK aerospace industry’s supply chain by providing a four year programme of training and development tailored to the assessed needs of each business. Using world class standards of performance as a benchmark, the training and development will cover all relevant disciplines, including lean operations, manufacturing processes, purchasing, cost modelling and leadership.
Global aerospace growth
The global aerospace Industry is expected to double in size over the next 10 years and whilst the UK’s aerospace sector is already the largest in Europe – manufacturing some of the most sophisticated and high value parts of modern aircraft – the support that SiG can provide will help to ensure that the selected UK businesses are in a position to take full advantage of this growth opportunity.
SiG leadership
Backed by £50m from the Government's Regional Growth Fund and £10m ‘in kind’ support from Rolls-Royce, SiG is run by Sharing in Growth UK Ltd, a company chaired by Bryan Jackson, former Managing Director of Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK and former Chairman of the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA).
