We’re pleased to share three new videos featuring expert insights from across our EMN network, covering key topics that are currently impacting engineering and manufacturing businesses.
Our first session focuses on the Employment Rights Act 2025, with Lauren Bathan from Jackson Hogg outlining the key changes employers need to be aware of. From updates to unfair dismissal rules and statutory sick pay to wider implications for recruitment and management practices, this session offers a clear overview of how businesses can prepare for upcoming legislative changes.
Our second video Rebecca McColl from Johnston Carmichael explores the evolving landscape of R&D tax credits, including recent reforms and what they mean for claims going forward. The session also introduces the Patent Box regime, highlighting additional opportunities for businesses to benefit from innovation through reduced corporation tax.
Finally, Colin Donohoe from Lockton Insurance provides an update on the insurance market, highlighting continued softening in 2026 and what this means for premiums, renewals, and potential savings. The discussion offers practical advice on how businesses can approach their insurance strategy and ensure they are getting the best value in the current climate.
Together, these three conversations provide valuable, practical guidance to help EMN members stay informed, compliant, and competitive in a changing business environment.
