High-flyer boosts career as Manufacturing 'Diplomat'

Brenton Breukers, Shift Supervisor at Manchester-based M&I Materials, has become a manufacturing ‘Diplomat’.

The high-flyer was awarded The Diploma in Manufacturing at a graduation ceremony at The University of Manchester.

The Diploma in Manufacturing is quality assured by The University of Manchester and delivered by the prestigious Manufacturing Institute. It is designed to help manufacturers fast track their careers and boost productivity and profits in their companies.

Brenton was able to apply his Diploma project to put forward a plan for production improvements to prepare for anticipated sales growth of a key product line. He identified lean manufacturing techniques that could be deployed to increase capacity and productivity ready for increasing output.

Julie Madigan, Manufacturing Institute CEO, said: “We congratulate Brenton on his achievement and the dedication he has shown in balancing a demanding job with academia. We are delighted to see how he has applied his learning to M&I Materials, while fast tracking his own career.”

She continued: “Now entering its 20th year, The Diploma in Manufacturing continues to provide a high level development programme for experienced and talented team leaders and managers who might not, otherwise, have the opportunity to participate in higher education. Our sector has transformed and is driven by skills, research and smarter ways of doing things. Our Diploma graduates are leading this march of the makers to even greater heights.”

High achieving practitioners from top manufacturing companies work with experts from leading UK Universities to deliver the Diploma. It provides a blueprint for those tasked with performance improvement and is a pragmatic, post experience learning programme that applies education to the workplace to deliver powerful results.
