There are huge opportunities in the Nuclear Sector - both for large and small companies. John Ransford, Gill Mardsen and Stuart Harrison bring it down to brass tacks. Exactly what is out there, what's on the horizon and how can businesses tap into the supply chain? How CAN the smaller companies get involved in Nuclear opportunites? What makes a more attractive supplier in the Nuclear Sector?
John Ransford, Lead Assessor for Fit 4 Nuclear (F4N) & Nuclear Sector Lead for Business Growth Service (MAS) is joined by Stuart Harrison of the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and Gill Marsden from NIS to demistify the supply chain of the Nuclear Energy Sector.
In this keynote address, Andy Tuscher, EEF Region Director Yorkshire and the Humber, will discuss the mood of the regions manufacturers in 2015 compared to the same time last year, setting out their priorities for growth and detailing what EEF are doing to shape policy and improve the economic landscape for our sector.
Tuscher then moves onto chair a panel of speakers who are able to comment on their issues/growth aspirations; in particular who can comment on the issues below which are contained in the EEF manifesto document:
What makes a company an attractive supplier to the giants? How can manufacturers tap into up and coming opportunities with these major organisations? Cummins Inc, HS2, CECA and Team Humber Marine Alliance point out the key factors that can make all the difference when seeking to grow your business through becoming a part of the supply chain.
Zero Waste Manufacturing, sometimes referred to as Circular Economy or remanufacturing, is not a fad or a trend. It's growing fast and it's here to stay. Once UK manufacturers crack the business model, this sector is worth £5.6bn and is set to create 200,000 jobs. Yorkshire currently holds the only MBA in the world for Circular Economy at Bradford University.
So exactly what is Circular Economy? What do Yorkshire manufacturers need to do to become circular and what is the first step?
Bradford University brings together partners from the Dame Ellen McArthur Foundation, Leeds City Region to get right to the nub of this subject - with a legacy for Yorkshire Manufacturers to take forward and cement Yorkshire's position as a leading light.
