Ceramics UK

As we begin a new year, we urge the UK government to recognise the essential role of the UK ceramic sector. As seen in this video, ceramics are often hidden in plain sight and play a crucial role in our everyday lives. From our cars to our smartphones, life-saving medical equipment to the homes we live in - ceramics are everywhere. The ceramic sector also enables foundational industries like steel and glass and provides skilled jobs across the country, contributing significantly to the UK economy. Help us raise awareness of the vital role of ceramics. Share this post! #CeramicsUK #UKManufacturing #MadeInUK #CriticalEnabler #HiddenInPlainSight
