Shaping Our Industry

What we have already achieved here in the North West is worth sharing. As we shape the industry together, we must look ahead with optimism and purpose about our economic future. GEMX will provide a collective voice.

GEMX Support For Industry

Becoming a GEMX member brings many benefits. You’ll enjoy opportunities to explore growth, elevate the profile of the sector, resolve skills shortages and bring diverse jobs to the region.

This is a shared venture. Fostering an innovation culture for and with our members goes hand-in-hand with our approach to developing skills and creates an environment that will inspire the best in our people. We want to improve attitudes towards the sector and encourage a mindset of improvement, attainment and professional confidence.

Together, we will build a community of practitioners and leaders who will represent the future of engineering in the North West as it should be: ambitious, skilled, purpose-driven and diverse.

Attracting Talent

Use the collective knowledge and experience of the GEMX network to attract the right people for your organisation – not just in engineering and manufacturing specific roles but in finance, design, HR, marketing and IT.

Our aim is to raise awareness of all the opportunities and career pathways that exist within the North West, ensuring this region is known as great place to study, work, live, relax and thrive. We’ll be offering training and initiatives that nurture loyalty within employees and instil a sense of pride in their workplace.
