In partnership with the Manufacturing Technology Centre

Since 2015, we’ve worked in partnership with the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), to develop the skills, research and technological innovations the sector has needed to compete on a global scale. Seeing the difference this partnership is making to the industry, we have now extended our collaboration through to the end of 2029, with a total sponsorship of £15 million.

“An extended Lloyds Bank and MTC partnership means we can deliver more high value manufacturing apprenticeships and training programmes that will support businesses to adopt new technologies and drive the UK economy.”

Dr Graham Hoare OBE
CEO, MTC
