“Made Smarter expands its advisory team to accelerate digital technology adoption across UK manufacturing”
Copied
Four new specialists were recruited, but the source limits this to Made Smarter's North West team serving North West SME manufacturers, not UK manufacturing as a whole. The programme cited is Made Smarter North West, launched in 2019, with figures covering the region's 2,500 engaged manufacturers. The claim's 'across UK manufacturing' scope overstates the source.
The span it rests on
Made Smarter has bolstered its North West team with four new specialists as SME manufacturers accelerate investment in technology and skills.
