The CIF Team

The Ceramic Industry Forum (CIF) was set up in September 2000 in light of competitiveness issues facing the UK ceramic industry. The CIF is supported by Government funding and the work of a wide range of partner organisations with the common objective of promoting and encouraging innovation in the design, marketing, manufacturing and development of training and skills. The services of the CIF are available to all UK ceramic companies no matter what size.

“Being able to debate current issues and possible solutions is really important, especially from learning about improving supply chain management and how we can access support to increase productivity and performance”
