𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 ALFED CEO Nadine Bloxsome and Industry & Skills Development Manager Rachel Wiffen are attending the CRU World Aluminium Summit at Savoy Place, joining global leaders to explore what’s next for aluminium. The opening session by CRU's Paul Williams highlighted a clear message: short-term volatility continues, but the long-term fundamentals for aluminium remain exceptionally strong. Key themes shaping the discussion: ✅ Strong demand growth from the global energy transition ⚡ Rapid electrification across EVs, grids, solar & storage 🇨🇳 China’s shift toward clean technology sectors ♻️ Rising importance of recycled aluminium in supply chains 🏗️ New smelting investment across Europe, North America & the Middle East Aluminium is emerging as a critical enabler of global decarbonisation and industrial transformation. With ALFED actively engaged throughout the summit, the focus remains on strengthening the UK aluminium sector through skills, resilience, and sustainable growth. Nadine and Rachel continue the summit over the coming days, with Rachel also joining a key panel on CBAM and what it means in practice for businesses across the value chain. #Aluminium #EnergyTransition #Manufacturing #SupplyChain #Decarbonisation #CRU #Sustainability #NetZero

It’s the start of a new era for @froniusuk!🚀 Sophie Allen and Emily Foster were on the road today for the grand opening of Fronius UK’s new Technical Competence Centre on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham. From live welding demos to cutting-edge innovation in action, the event showcased how Fronius is supporting UK manufacturing.
