Jonathan Lee Recruitment — an engineering, manufacturing and technology recruitment specialist with offices in Stourbridge and Warwick — has become a core partner in the Future of British Manufacturing Initiative.

Led by engineering design software specialists Autodesk, FoBMI brings a hands-on approach to helping UK design and manufacturing SMEs embrace digital technologies that can help them to make better products, sell more and generate greater profits.

As one of the core partners, the recruitment specialist will bring its expertise in advanced manufacturing and engineering to provide skills advice to SMEs involved with FoBMI.

One of the key components of the initiative is a readiness assessment that can be accessed via Jonathan Lee Recruitment’s Web site (www.jonlee.co.uk/FoBMI).

For businesses that want to improve — and to adopt disruptive technologies — this is the first step towards gaining practical and realistic advice.
