With a busy port, two major car plants on our doorstep and a host of local companies involved in offshore wind and civil nuclear projects, it's easy to see why Wirral is a great location for advanced manufacturing.

This is nothing new. We've been providing world-class engineering solutions since 1824 when pioneering shipbuilders Cammell Laird launched the first of more than 1,350 ships from their Birkenhead base.  

Wirral engineers were the first to use iron and steel in shipbuilding and the same spirit of manufacturing innovation can be seen today in local companies like Teledyne CML that supplies composite materials for fighter jets and AEV that makes resins for the electronics industry. If your manufacturing is advanced and innovative, you'll be welcome in Wirral.
