Brompton Bicycles Experience Day - 22 February, Greenford, Middlesex
Tour the manufacturing site of Brompton Bicycles to see how, even in a factory hand-building over 100 bikes a day, quality is king.
This Experience Day will look at why quality should be front and centre of everything you do on your site, and reveal some top tips for ensuring your products are made right first time, every time.
A representative from EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, will also be offering expert advice and hands-on training for anyone looking to learn why a quality-first approach is something to aspire to.
The Experience Day is ideal for quality managers, heads of site and anyone with an active interest in seeing how one of the leading manufacturers in the country operates.

Manufacturing Management Leadership Days
There’s plenty of discussion about the future of manufacturing and the digital factory, but what does it mean for companies now and how should manufacturers be developing leadership skills to implement the factory of the future?
Manufacturing Management (formerly Works Management magazine) is launching a campaign to develop and prepare future leaders.
Securing profit and productivity for the future depends not only on investment and implementation of new technologies but it is reliant upon developing today’s leaders to be equipped with the knowledge and tools that will safeguard and secure future success.
As part of a Continuous Improvement series of events, Manufacturing Management is working alongside key partners – Festo, Kronos, Infor, Siemens, Werma, and OEEsystems – that share our core vision of preparing leaders for the digital manufacturing age.
Leadership Days have been designed to provide you with a series of events throughout the year with different themes to address your different learning requirements. The first of these new, one day events will provide you, the UK’s manufacturing leaders, with practical, hands-on advice and guidance to prepare your site and workforce for the Smart Factory of the Future.
