Travel back to 1896. 

Queen Victoria was still on the throne and Britain had just produced its first car. EEF was formed, and 130 years later we’re telling that story. 

This April marks 130 years since EEF, the Engineering Employers Federation was founded. Join us as we reflect on over a century of heritage and look forward with optimism at the opportunities ahead in an ever-changing world.

A message from the CEO.

As Make UK marks 130 years at the heart of British manufacturing, we do so at a time of real challenge for many businesses and one that reminds us of the strength of our sector.
