Eventbrite National Manufacturing Conference: The early bird rate for the National Manufacturing Conference has been extended until the end of this week! Join us on 3rd May 2022 at the QEII Centre London. There’ll be workshops that will help you identify ways to increase profits, opportunities to build your network and challenge political decision-makers.
National Manufacturing Day: On the 7th July 2022, manufacturers will pledge to throw open their doors in a UK wide Open House on National Manufacturing Day – Local communities will have the chance to see the potential careers and jobs on offer within our wonderfully diverse manufacturing sector. The aim is to engage with all age groups – from school leavers, graduates, people looking to reskill and the local residents. If you’d like to get involved, please do not hesitate to contact me.
