Our #digitalmeetmanufacturing campaign is giving manufacturers of all sizes the chance to work with cool tech businesses like @razor_uk - smart, agile and innovative, they are giving businesses in the region a competitive edge! Credit to: @Jonbray76 & @RabScott2 for driving it! – at Wakefield, England
Our research director @Benj_Morgan talks about the impact of linking up mfg companies & partners with small digital businesses in the region & nationally. ‘We’re seeing they can act quickly & solve our manufacturers issues. That would be revolutionary for the UK going forward.’

This is a really interesting thread showing the power of invention, rapid innovation and probably the most important bit, acting on an idea! Very cool thread.
This is the wild story of how I made $1,036,175 during the COVID lockdowns by rapidly creating a new physical product in 7 days.
In April 2020, during the lockdowns I created 2 things that changed my life:
1. – I launched Shepherd (eventually renamed Somewhere[dot]com). 4 years later we sold it for $52,000,000.
2. – I created a new physical product that made us $1,036,175 in 60 days.
This is the untold story of #2.

A legend of northern rugby and an inspiration to millions. The thoughts of everyone at Sale Sharks are with the family and friends of Rob Burrow.
RIP Rob 💔.

MADE IN YORKSHIRE: Rolls-Royce is setting up a new multi-million pound facility in Sheffield to manufacture and test prototype modules for its small modular reactors (SMRs).
The Rolls-Royce SMR Module Development Facility - housed within University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre’s existing Factory 2050 facilities (image) - will produce working prototypes of the individual modules that will be assembled into Rolls-Royce SMR power plants.
The first phase is worth £2.7 million and will be part of a wider £15 million-plus package of work that will further de-risk and underpin the Rolls-Royce SMR programme. The modular approach is unique within the nuclear industry but is widely used and well proven across the oil and gas and renewables sectors.
The Rolls-Royce SMR is the UK’s first home-grown nuclear technology for over a generation and this latest announcement is another vital step towards deploying a fleet of ‘factory-built’ nuclear power plants in the UK and around the globe. #UKmfg🇬🇧
