Today, Trafford is a globally recognised hub for manufacturing and advanced industry, attracting companies across sectors such as plastics, agri‑food, food processing, chemicals, energy and fast‑moving consumer goods.
The upcoming Trafford Advanced Manufacturing Materials Skills Development Programme, funded by the GMCA and delivered by Trafford Council, will inject over £1 million to boost local manufacturing talent and support business growth.
