Today there are over 400 companies actively engaging through NEPIC.
Individually companies benefit from increased sales, better local supply chains which help reduce costs and inventory levels and improved productivity and resource efficiency. Companies have reported up to £2m per annum of bottom line benefit through these activities. This helps those companies remain competitive within their own organisation which hopefully leads to future investment.
Collectively the cluster has a stronger voice to regional, UK and EU government; and through the coordination of mutually beneficial activities (led by industry) the competitiveness of the North East Process Industries is improved. In addition the sector has a greater international profile and has benefited from new companies establishing investing in the region.
Probably the most visible contribution NEPIC has made since its formation in 2005 is in helping create or safeguard over 3,600 jobs. This equates to generating over £1bn of Gross Value Added (GVA) to the north east regional economy.
These benefits are felt throughout the industry and ALL companies, members and non-members, are rewarded. Companies have a vital stake in making their home environment a better platform for international success, your company is actively playing its part in the cluster yet many of your suppliers and customers, who are reaping the rewards, are not. We would like your help in raising the awareness of membership benefits to your suppliers and customers. Please forward this email to your contacts and ask them to consider their role in the future success of these important sectors for the North East economy.
