Black Country manufacturers looking abroad

Midlands industrialists are to come together and focus on how best to drive forward their businesses.

The Manufacturing Business Network event, run by the Midlands office of national audit, tax and advisory firm, Crowe Clark Whitehill, has guest speakers from UK Trade & Investment and the Manufacturing Advisory Service.

It takes place on Wednesday, February 29, at Crowe Clark Whitehill’s offices at Black Country House in Oldbury.

Johnathan Dudley, Midlands Managing Partner and Head of Manufacturing Business for the firm, said: “Following on from a successful last meeting with Julian Hetherington of Jaguar Land Rover, we wanted to build on his message.

“Hence we will be looking into ways to improve the manufacturing process, generate export opportunities, foster collaboration with foreign companies, and set up foreign manufacturing facilities.”

There is a 6pm for 6.15pm start, finishing around 8.15pm, with a buffet and opportunities to put questions to the speakers.

Any manufacturing businesses who are interested in attending or would like to find out more about the Network should contact Miriam Sherwood on 0121 543 1900.
