Manufacturers are under pressure to do more with less. This survey explores how UK plants are making decisions, where administrative effort still drags performance, and how ready organisations are to adopt AI‑enabled change. New this year, we ask respondents to assess whether they’re keeping up with their industry—so we can compare perceptions of industry maturity with their own organisational (and team) maturity.
By examining investment priorities, system connectivity and maturity across both shop floor and back office, we’ll map where value is being created today—and where the biggest opportunities lie next. We invite manufacturing leaders, operational decision‑makers and technology owners to share their insights.
As a thank you for taking part, you’ll be entered into a draw to win a £150 Amazon voucher - and you’ll be among the first to receive a copy of the 2026 Manufacturing Maturity Benchmark Report.
