University of Sheffield AMRC
Since its founding in 2001, the AMRC has played a key role in transforming a once industrial wasteland in Rotherham into an attractive location for advanced manufacturing businesses, expanding into Sheffield Business Park and drawing major inward investors such as Boeing, Rolls-Royce and McLaren to the area - helping the local economy to emerge from the decline of its traditional industrial strengths of coal and steel.
