Breaking through

Managing Director, Advanced Technology Services

for

growth I am delighted to invite you and your team to this year’s Manufacturer Directors’ Conference.

The past few months have shown that the UK’s economy is recovering, with increased manufacturing output and upwardly revised GDP optimism is higher than it has been for years. Making the wrong decision in the next six months could restrict company growth, now is the time to formalise new ideas and business opportunities.

Now in its fifth successful year, The Manufacturer Directors’ Conference will bring together a wealth of knowledge from across industry, government and academia. With a mixture of debates, manufacturing case studies, hands on workshops and practical presentations. #TMDC2013 will focus on key factors for growth including areas of supply chain integration and how servertization can drive business growth. It will also bring together the next generation of manufacturers in an inaugural forum to form a vision of #UKmfg in 2023 - directly from young manufacturers.

With practical ‘how to’ and ‘essential growth’ skills workshops designed specifically for directors to enhance your skills, this event will ensure your business can break through any potential barriers and drive forward over the next twelve months and beyond.

Join us at MDC 2013, we look forward to meeting you and your team.

Attending the MDC will enable you to: Understand how you can increase your company’s profitability outside of your existing sales channels

Shape your business strategy to ensure cost savings are achievable and that they are in line with any expansion plans
