The future of UK manufacturing will be high on the agenda at a major event taking place in Leeds at the end of November.
Business leaders and industry experts will gather at Leeds Valley Park on November 24th, to debate the role of manufacturing and what needs to be done if the sector is to play its full part in rebalancing the UK economy.
Panellists include Juergen Maier, MD of Siemens UK Industry Sector, and Steve Pateman, Head of Commercial Banking at Santander. The discussion will be chaired by Peter Marsh, the UK manufacturing editor of the Financial Times.
Leeds City Council Marketing Manager David Baggaley said: “The Leeds City Region is the UK’s largest manufacturing centre outside London, and many of the companies based here are world leaders in their field.
“The Business of Manufacturing event will showcase the strengths of the sector in Leeds and the wider city region.
“The event will also offer practical advice on a range of key issues affecting the sector including skills, supply chain development, succeeding in export markets and opportunities presented by the new enterprise zones.
The free event runs from 8am to 11am and has been sponsored by Goodman, the developer of Leeds Valley Park, the Manufacturing Advisory Service, Leeds Manufacturing, and Leeds, Yorks and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce.
