The UK landbased engineering sector is alive and well. The list of companies manufacturing in the UK for local and export consumption is testament to that. However, there is always a need to improve the way we do things – no one is ever perfect! Although there has been a dramatic reduction in the UK manufacturing base in recent years, paradoxically, a small number of companies seem able to expand profitably, by exploiting design and manufacturing skills without the need to utilise offshore suppliers. We hope to show how this can be done economically and effectively.

 

This conference is intended to provide an opportunity for delegates to network with experts in many aspects of manufacturing and is aimed at all those engineers who are interested in, or need to get up to date with, the latest ideas in all aspects of manufacturing. Speakers from well respected suppliers will present a wide range of topics including case histories from companies that have effectively implemented positive changes.

 

The intention is that everyone will leave with information that can be put into immediate effect and give increased margins as well as increasing production from existing resources.

 

The Conference, to be chaired by Roger Lane-Nott, Director General of the AEA will include an introduction by Richard Robinson, Managing Director of Autoguide Equipment and IAgrE incoming President.
