The new platform aims to increase digital connectivity and communication in an industry that currently has no dedicated media support.

Regular expert columnists, podcasts, an industry newsletter and events are just some of the features that are set to hit the desks of leaders of this transforming industry.

Beth Perry, Section Editor said:

“As the news industry continues to diversify we felt that the manufacturing sector was poorly covered in the media, at a time when digital connectivity and transparency online has never been so important. Now is the right time to support this important industry in Wales.

“Having watched this sector develop over the last 12 months, its clear to see that there are some really exciting advancements being made in manufacturing in Wales, and this new platform will help to strengthen Wales’ position as a leader in the industry.”

Mark Powney, MD, Business News Wales commented:

“Building on the success of Business News Wales over the last 4 years, we felt it was the right time to invest in this sector. At a time when trusted news is so important, together with the changes that Brexit may bring, we could make a real difference in supporting the sector.

“Following a variety of market research campaigns it was clear the demand for a dedicated and trusted news channel in the manufacturing industry was needed. Our recent investment round via Development Bank has enabled us to develop such niche industry news channels that will serve as invaluable news and information resource.

“Our expertise has told us that the creation of niche and specific channels is where the news market is headed and so we are catering to businesses and individuals alike who desire a one-stop-shop for Manufacturing-related information.”
