Abstract
This article focuses on various trends in the electronics industry in Great Britain. Britain is host to a sophisticated electronic design and manufacturing sector capable of creating marketable products from ingenious ideas. Yet the perception is that it has become a services-only-based economy with the demise of its manufacturing base. Whilst there is obvious evidence to show that in this market sector the major global manufacturers have moved to lower cost centres, it is still possible to run a profitable electronics design and manufacturing business in Britain, the key is getting the basics right. For starters it is vital to a design and manufacturing project to have a proven design for manufacture policy. Upon successful completion of the design and prototyping stages, decisions then need to be made regarding how best to assemble production volumes.
