"A unique event adding real value"
"In recent years manufacturing roles have changed. With less layers of management and more team working, the responsibilities of the managers have become broader and moved beyond just production.
There are a lot of great exhibitions in the UK that support manufacturing managers. There are events that focus on general process and lean manufacturing; health and safety, material handling, machinery, automation and maintenance. But there is currently no event that combines all these areas together, so it can be difficult for somebody who needs to have a good understanding of all these areas to know which event they should attend. This event is targeted at these managers and the reason why we wanted to get involved. We feel it will be of real value to manufacturing managers, providing access to suppliers and information under one roof. We see this event as a great opportunity to talk to companies about their materials handling challenges and look at possible solutions.”
Ian Ritchie, managing director of Brammer and Buck & Hickman
