IfM Membership Scheme
small and medium sized companies

As a member of the IfM your company will enjoy a close working relationship with one of the world's leading centres of manufacturing research, education and practice. Membership provides access to operational, technical and strategic expertise, with support geared to the specific needs of small and medium-sized companies.

We offer practical solutions to industrial problems and help companies gain the knowledge and skills needed to remain competitive in an increasingly global market place.

How membership works

As a small or medium-sized business you will be assigned to an Industrial Fellow who will be your main point of contact within the IfM. The Industrial Fellow will act as your guide and lead practitioner, directing you to the most appropriate service or contact and helping you to get maximum value from your IfM membership. IfM membership is open to companies of all sizes.

A separate scheme exists for large companies - please click here for details.

Members' benefits

Members are entitled to the following benefits:

  • A programme of activity to suit your needs which could include mentoring or a review of an area of your business
  • Discounts on our courses and events
  • Electronic newsletter for members only, providing updates on current IfM activities
  • Support in setting up potential projects involving our undergraduate and postgraduate students
  • Right to use the IfM member logo on your website and promotional material
  • Your company logo on our website with a link to your website
  • Discounted consultancy and support services.

How to become an IfM member
