EDITOR’S COMMENT
THE WAY ENGINEERING and
manufacturing have stepped up during the
Covid-19 pandemic to address shortages of
medical and protective equipment has been
truly inspiring.
From ventilators designed,
manufactured and supplied in the space
of weeks to 3D-printed medical visors,
the ood of stories of technological
ingenuity and dedication that we have
seen in recent months has been amazing.
All too often, engineering and
manufacturing are unsung heroes of the UK
economy, with their vital, life-saving role
in our society overlooked or even belittled.
Their contribution during this crisis has
corrected perceptions of these sectors.
As the UK’s largest publisher of
engineering titles, Eureka’s publisher
MA Business is determined that this
contribution should never be forgotten.
That’s why we have brought together
all of our engineering brands to launch
, in which we will celebrate
the people, companies and technologies
that have made up UK engineering’s
massive contribution during this time.
Later this year, we will publish a
commemorative supplement that tells
and honours these stories. In the
meantime, however, we will use the website
www.engineeringheroes.co.uk to tell
the story of UK engineering’s role in the
response to Covid-19.
To do that, we want to hear from you.
If your company has played a role –
however minor – during this time, we
want to hear about it. To be a part of the
Engineering Heroes story, contact me or go

We are not at the end of this pandemic,
but when we are, there can be no doubt
that the contribution of the engineering
sector will have played a vital role in getting
us there. That requires acknowledgement,
thanks and celebration. is our
way of doing that.
