Industry Forum

Our History

Industry Forum was initially formed in 1996 to improve the performance and effectiveness of the UK’s automotive supply chain. This unique collaboration between the UK government, the SMMT and leading vehicle manufacturers saw experts – master engineers – seconded from founding partners to develop revolutionary new models and interventions for best practice improvement.

By 2000, the success of the team saw its consulting skills and methods in demand in areas outside the automotive arena. Today, the Industry Forum has blue chip clients spanning 6 diverse sectors, in 30 countries across five continents.

In 2007, Industry Forum became one of only six agencies qualified to assess Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) under the global excellence benchmark set by the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance. In 2009, we became the first organisation to offer qualified non-Japanese TPM assessors. Industry Forum is the only UK provider of MMOG-LE Training and also the UK’s only licensed provider of VDA QMC, the German quality management system standard.

Active sectors today include, aerospace, automotive, rail and many ‘diverse’ industries.
