Earlier this month, Texane spent some time at the annual Leicestershire Business event at the Leicester Tigers ground.

This event has been a major trade show for eight years now, attracting over 800 visitors.

Texane joined 113 other exhibitors at the event, which is a fantastic networking opportunity. The stand was a hive of activity all day, and it was great to get to know some of the faces behind Leicestershire’s brightest businesses.

Manufacturing Innovation Roundtable

It's easy to say we need creative cultures in businesses - producing them is a far harder task. Midlands Business Insider East Midlands brought together experts and entrepreneurs to find out how to incite innovation.

Arnab Dutt, Texane - "The past few years for us have been about developing new products for new markets and, rather than just being industry-facing, looking at consumer sectors, anywhere where we can develop our core competency.

"That's meant investing in new machines, developing new polyurethanes where we seee high margins and values. To do this we've had to innovate and look for where demand is, and be imaginative. We do not want to do the same as everyone else because you just end up fighting a lot of people on price alone."

Business is booming in the East Midlands

Business is booming in the East Midlands, and Texane can feel it. 

We’ve felt the impact of the East Midlands’ confluence of great business clusters that are receiving capital investment. New transport infrastructure investment means the Bombardier and Rolls Royce are receiving large orders that are spreading through the local supply chain, a domino effect of positive business growth.

We have new companies and product development with SMEs working alongside our excellent universities, including Cambridge. We also have a technology cluster for Formula 1 and motorsport which is a crucible of innovation and engineering excellence.

Finally, it’s thanks to the close proximity to London, and the transport networks that make the East Midlands easily accessible to all parts of the UK, and of course Europe. Texane is exporting more than ever as products manufactured by British firms are the preferred by customers across the globe.
