The Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub is inviting Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland manufacturing businesses to attend this year’s Manufacturing Conference.
Hosted at Kenwick Park Hotel in Louth, The Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland Manufacturing Conference will act as the event of the year for local manufacturers. This all-day conference will provide invaluable insight into the future of manufacturing, helping businesses to future-proof for a more sustainable and prosperous future.
This year, Business Lincolnshire have curated an impressive line-up of guest speakers, sharing their expertise to help Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland manufacturers to make better-informed strategic decisions about the future of their businesses.
Among the expert speakers – discussing the sustainable business opportunity and why it matters – is Richard Hill, head of automotive and manufacturing at NatWest. Richard will be exploring what sustainability means for a manufacturing business and why it is so crucial in preserving the future of the sector. Graduating in Business Studies, Richard’s career has revolved around the Auto and Manufacturing sectors, representing NatWest Group and the banking sector on key bodies such as the UK Automotive Council, The Scale Up Institute, and Warwick-based manufacturing group, HVM Catapult, which he currently chairs.
Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub’s very own David Knight will then be taking to the stage, discussing net-zero and how manufacturers can take their first steps toward building a carbon neutral enterprise. David is the resource and efficiency specialist at the Growth Hub, providing specialist advice on energy efficiency and how it can be applied to an organisation, as well as sharing his wealth of knowledge on carbon and energy analysis – supporting organisations to find effective ways of reducing their energy reliance and carbon emissions.
Up next is Dug Harrison, industrial advisor at Nuclear AMRC. Dug joined AMRC back in 2021, after spending ten years at NSAN. Working across a variety of roles within the energy sector, he has gained a wealth of knowledge on oil & gas, nuclear, and offshore-wind energy solutions. His speech will be centred around the topic of carbon capture and storage, helping businesses to adopt cleaner practices and lower their environmental impact.
With cyber threats on the rise since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict, data security is pivotal in a technology dependant industry. Manufacturers will hear from Richard Morris, sales executive at KryptoKloud, next as he delves into the current dangers faced by the manufacturing industry, along with the steps that businesses of all sizes can take to combat them.
The speeches will conclude with Justin Willis, Siemens Energy industrial gas turbine director of supply chain, as he shares tangible examples of sustainability in the supply chain via a case study example. Working in senior management across three key industry sectors over the past 35 years; including Construction, Aerospace, and Energy Generation, Justin is greatly experienced in implementing green solutions to support growth and efficiency within a manufacturing environment.
Businesses that attend the Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland Manufacturing Conference will also be provided with the opportunity to take part in an industry site tour with Micronclean or Wolds Manufacturing Services.
