Be part of our leadership journey

Dear applicant,

How many people can say they provide leadership to an organisation that is helping drive economic growth across the country?

That is our role at the High Value Manufacturing Catapult – keeping UK manufacturing innovative, productive and globally competitive as a cornerstone of the UK’s net zero ambitions and national resilience.

As part of the Innovate UK Catapult Network, our six centres of innovation provide the link between academia and industry to apply research, commercialising the UK’s most advanced manufacturing ideas.

Working at scale and across the UK, our network is a strategic research and innovation hub for UK industry, collaborating to accelerate industrial transformation by tackling key objectives in support of net zero, healthy living and national security.

The UK government has signalled with its Industrial Strategy that manufacturing is a key growth sector at the heart of our future economy. Supported by Innovate UK, the applied research activities of HVM Catapult will be essential to the delivery of the Industrial Strategy and the government’s core missions.

At this exciting stage of our journey, we are looking for a new Board member as a non-executive director.

Working with other Board members, you will have oversight of the HVM Catapult objectives and delivery, providing strategic leadership and council.

We are committed to a fair and open recruitment process that looks far and wide for the best talent.

Thank you for your interest in this role and we look forward to receiving your application.

Steve Bagshaw
Chair
