We’re celebrating National Manufacturing Day 2025
For the first time ever, and with support from Hopwood Hall College, we are celebrating NMD 2025 by hosting ten Year 10 students from Middleton Technology High School at our Greater Manchester Head Office. The day will include a factory tour, highlight engineering career opportunities, and encourage more women to enter the field.

What’s happening on the day?
On Thursday 25th September, R&B Switchgear Group will welcome ten Year 10 students from Middleton Technology High School to its Greater Manchester Head Office, with support from Hopwood Hall College. During the two-hour visit, students will meet engineers and apprentices, take part in career-focused activities, and join a guided factory tour to see engineering in action. The visit aims to inspire the next generation, with a particular focus on promoting pathways into apprenticeships and encouraging more women into engineering.
