Hi listener, a bumper episode for you to get your ears around.

President Trump's comprehensive outlining of trade tariffs imposed on all goods coming into America was announced this week. Hear our reaction and the reaction of UK manufacturers from some of the sectors most impacted.

And, as this is the first episode of our People & Skills Series, we wanted to put a spotlight on apprenticeships, with a recent feature on The Manufacturer website, some recent good news stories in our headlines round-up, and a podcast featured taken from the night of The Engineering Trust Awards in Oxford.

There's all that at plenty more in today's episode.
