As a Patron of the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce, we’re pleased to confirm that we’ll be exhibiting at the East Midlands Manufacturing & Trade Conference 2026.
This event brings together manufacturers, supply chain partners, technology providers and regional leaders to focus on innovation, resilience and growth within the sector. For us, it’s exactly the right room to be in.
Why? Because manufacturing isn’t “just another sector” for us. It’s one of our core specialisms.
Supporting Advanced Manufacturing in the East Midlands
The East Midlands has a strong reputation for advanced engineering and precision manufacturing. From aerospace to Formula One, businesses here operate in high-pressure, high-security environments where downtime simply isn’t acceptable.
We’ve worked closely with companies in this space to design and implement IT systems that match the pace and complexity of their operations.
Take Atlas Composite Technologies Ltd, an advanced engineering company manufacturing complex composite components for sectors including Formula One, aerospace and satellite communications .
As their business expanded, their legacy IT infrastructure struggled to keep up. Large CAD and CAM files were slowing workflows. Security risks were increasing. Compliance requirements were tightening .
Sound familiar?
What Manufacturing Businesses Actually Need from IT
Manufacturers don’t need buzzwords. They need systems that work.
In Atlas’s case, we delivered:
- High performance servers optimised for CAD and CAM applications
- A next generation firewall and secure VPN to protect sensitive data
- A redesigned network architecture to improve reliability and speed
- Proactive monitoring to prevent costly downtime
The result?
- 50 percent reduction in processing time for complex design files
- Stronger cybersecurity posture, supporting Cyber Essentials Plus certification
- Zero operational disruption during deployment
That’s what good IT should look like in manufacturing. Faster engineering workflows. Stronger security. Scalable infrastructure. No drama.
Why This Matters at the Conference
Manufacturing businesses across the region are facing similar challenges:
- Increasing cybersecurity threats
- Growing compliance pressures
- Larger design files and heavier data loads
- Hybrid and remote access requirements
- The need to scale without constant reinvestment
These aren’t theoretical problems. They show up in slow file transfers, frustrated engineers and nervous finance directors.
We’ll be at the conference to have practical conversations about how manufacturers can build resilient IT foundations that support growth, not restrict it.
If you’re attending, come and talk to us. Whether you’re planning an infrastructure upgrade, reviewing your cybersecurity posture, or simply wondering if your current setup could be working harder for you, we’re happy to have an honest discussion. If you’ve not booked yet do so at East Midlands Manufacturing and Trade Conference 2026 – East Midlands Chamber
And if you can’t make it, you can learn more about how we support the sector on our dedicated IT Support for Manufacturers page.
See you there.
