1 min read
The government has urged manufacturers to get involved in an exhibition showcasing outstanding UK goods as part of the Make it in Great Britain Campaign.
The Make it in Great Britain Exhibition will champion domestic products that display exceptional design or production techniques.
Successful applicants will be invited to display their goods at the exhibition being held at the Science Museum from 24 July to 9 September to coincide with next summer's London 2012 Olympics.
Interested parties must explain how their product meets the objectives of Make it in Great Britain campaign- which aims to dispel the myth that Britain 'doesn't make anything anymore'.
Applicants are also asked to suggest how their product could be displayed to appeal to exhibit visitors.

Business secretary Vince Cable said: "Manufacturing is our most exportable sector and is at the heart of our long term economic vision. We have outstanding manufacturing companies, both large and small and today I want to call on them to join us in being part of the Make it in Great Britain campaign.
"The Science Museum is home to some of the greatest technological advances in history, so what better place for us to exhibit the very best of British manufacturing as it stands today."
Director of the Science Museum Ian Blatchford commented: "We're incredibly excited to be hosting next year's Make it in Great Britain Exhibition. The Science Museum and its world leading collections demonstrate some of the greatest engineering achievements of the last 200 years. We hope that as many people as possible visit the Exhibition, and see at first-hand how innovation in British manufacturing is still thriving today"
The Make it in Great Britain campaign has been backed from leading companies such as Ford, Brompton Bicycles and Bombardier Aerospace.
Joe Greenwell, Ford of Britain chair and William Butler Adams CEO at Brompton Bicyles will act as industry champions for the campaign.
