Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s what Canterbury manufacturers usually want to know.

Do I need to be a manufacturer to join? Yes — this membership is designed specifically for businesses operating in the manufacturing sector. If you’re unsure whether your business qualifies, get in touch and we’ll advise.

Can I add Manufacturing Membership to my existing Business Canterbury membership? Yes. You can add it to any existing membership for targeted, sector-specific support. Contact us to explore your options — bundled pricing is available.

What’s the difference between this and standard membership? Manufacturing Membership includes all the benefits of a service membership plus specialist manufacturing support — including factory tours, advocacy forums, tailored advice, and exclusive events.

What is the Manufacturing Excellence Navigator? It’s a tailored pathway that helps you identify your business’s current stage and connect to the right tools, experts, and opportunities for growth. We walk you through it during your onboarding and as part of ongoing support.

How do the quarterly check-ins work? You'll be connected with our Manufacturing Business Advisor for a one-on-one check-in each quarter, helping you address current challenges, find the right support, and stay on track with your goals.

Is this just for large manufacturers? Not at all. We support manufacturers of all sizes — from small niche producers to large-scale operations. The support is scaled and tailored to your business needs.

Can I try it out before I commit? While full membership gives you the most value, you can sign up for our free monthly Manufacturing email updates to get a feel for what’s happening and how we support the sector.
