What manufacturers say about our events:

'What I enjoyed the most from attending the Manufacturing Leaders’ Summit alongside IBM, Ericsson, BMW Group, Oracle, Innovate UK, Reckitt and others was the openness of companies to share best practice and learn from each other at the discussion tables.

It reiterated for me that although competition can be healthy, a problem shared is indeed a problem halved and helps us collectively move society forward, especially in the current challenging manufacturing climate.'

– Ben Ellins, IT & Digital Director – Factory Operations, Reckitt

 

“The awards process is challenging & stimulating for our business, mainly due to the on-site audits which is the element I feel gives the awards real credibility. The awards evening was enjoyable with huge networking opportunities across industries, plus it was a great chance to celebrate with our team.''

- Richard Lloyd, Managing Director, Encirc Beverages – Operational Excellence winner 2023.
