How We Help

We work closely with government and are involved in key discussions on issues ranging from trade and standards to skills development and SMEs. We also administer the UK Aluminium Industry All-Party Parliamentary Group and engage regularly with the Department for Business and Industrial Strategy, giving us a broad platform to promote your interests.

We make it easy to identify opportunities based on industry developments. With our in-depth market reports, guidance on legislation and compliance, and frameworks for best practice, you can plan for the future and foster continuous improvement. Reports are included in your membership – great value compared with a research firm or consultancy.

Our training courses have become integral parts of members’ new staff inductions and ongoing skills development – for engineers and business leaders. By managing high-quality programmes and promoting apprenticeships, we help you future-proof your workforce and offer professional development that positions you as an employer of choice.

Our telephone and on-site technical support covers the complete aluminium production process, including heat treatments advice, mechanical and chemical structure analysis, manufacturing problem troubleshooting, and machining of product and material specifications.

Whether you have 5 staff or 50, we offer consultancy to meet your business needs and help you overcome your unique challenges. This includes services ranging from energy management support to bespoke training, coaching and e-learning, depending on your requirements.

Our range of industry, political and social events – including an annual dinner and House of Lords lunch – open doors and provide learning opportunities. Our highly-regarded networking events focus on finishing, recycling, extruding, automotive, innovation and HSE.
