Productivity East is overseen by a Board comprising members of industry, local councils and Chamber of Commerce as well as the university itself. 

All members are experts in their field who provide strategic direction and guidance to shape, develop and deliver the ambitions and objectives of Productivity East. 

Members’ established positions and profile means they are excellently placed to further build collaboration and integrate Productivity East with the wider engineering, manufacturing and training community, share best practice and demonstrate leadership. 

This multi-stakeholder representation ensures the manufacturing and business sector gets the training, support and opportunities it requires from the facility, with expert insights and development from the very latest innovative research from the university.
