Infor today announced that it will host an exclusive breakfast briefing looking at strategies for risk reduction, innovation, investment and growth in UK manufacturing. Set for Thursday 15th October 2009, the event will feature speakers from Barclays Commercial Bank and the manufacturing and engineering organisation EEF, as well as over 30 UK manufacturers.
The event will take place at the Woodland Grange Training and Conference Centre, Leamington Spa. Nick Brayshaw, chairman of UK manufacturing for Barclays Commercial Bank will present on “Growth and Competition” looking at how UK manufacturers can remain competitive. Stephen Radley, EEF’s chief economist and director of policy will present an EEF report discussing the support manufacturers need to mitigate the risks presented by the recession.
“Organisations need to not only ensure their survival but also prepare themselves to take advantage of the upturn forecasted for 2010,” explains David Grosvenor, vice president, UK, Ireland, Middle East and Africa, Infor. “Now is the time to make pragmatic decisions to improve business operations, address gaps in the skill base and become innovative.”
“Business as usual is not the right approach for future success. Only the leanest, most focused manufacturing operations will continue to grow and prosper. This event is designed to give attendees an insight into what that will mean for them.”
