News: Rotherham heralds a New Era for Manufacturing
The region's senior manufacturers will head to Rotherham in October for the 2010 Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS Y&H) Manufacturing Conference.
Called a "New Era for Manufacturing", the conference is focused on helping companies make the most of low carbon opportunities and push forward with innovative and advanced manufacturing techniques.
The event will take place at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham on October 14 and attendees will be able to pick up practical tips and advice from local companies and respected business leaders and network with over 200 members of the local manufacturing community.
In addition, they will also be able to take away ideas about how to capitalise on potential opportunities and find out about the grant subsidised support available from MAS.
Keynote speakers include Steve Watson from David Brown Gears who will discuss moving a traditional business into renewables and Cheryl Kindness of Camira Fabrics will discuss product innovation and sustainable manufacturing. Peter Hopton of Very PC will talk about Capitalising on the green revolution and Nick Hussey of Manufacturing Insight will take about improving the image of UK manufacturing.
Through interactive workshops, MAS supported businesses will share with you how they have used specific tools and strategies to improve their performance. The focus will be on manufacturing strategy, innovation in practice, developing your team and a business case for green & sustainable manufacturing.
Also included is the opportunity of a guided tour of the Factory of the Future at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing (AMRC).
Robin Watson, regional director of MAS said: "The last two years have been a turbulent time for manufacturers but we now have the chance to create a new era for manufacturing. Through this year's conference, we want to reinforce the strong message that manufacturing in Yorkshire & Humber is alive and well, and that MAS will continue its support to ensure that the industry prospers.
"Our aim is that by the end of the conference delegates will have gained innovative ideas about how to capitalise on potential opportunities for their business and are aware of the support available from MAS to help achieve their goals."
