SUMMARY:Engineering & Manufacturing Marketers' Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:Book Now \nMarketing is difficult for engineering and manufacturing companies – FACT \n\nThe products we sell are often complex and technical so it’s difficult to explain the benefits of products clearly and concise.\nThe target audience is small and specialised which can make it difficult to reach them with marketing messages.\nThe sales cycle can be long so it’s hard to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and evidence why the investment is worth it to a senior team.\n\nCome and join us at this event\, with like-minded professionals responsible for marketing and sales in engineering and manufacturing businesses\, to develop your practice and become more effective and efficient. \nPresentation: Building a sales and marketing strategy to support growth \nAt this session on June 7\, we’ll be hearing from Ben Moody\, Marketing Manager of Alexander Battery Technologies\, winner of the Insider Made In The North East Manufacturer of the Year (under £25 million) award… \nBuilding a Sales and Marketing strategy for growth can be difficult for any business. The goal for Alexander Battery Technologies was to drastically improve upon the pre-existing approach of the business. \nHaving been an established business for over 40 years\, 2022 was the year it needed to develop a strategy to capture the increase of electrification in industry and take the business to the next level. Growing from a single sales person to a Sales and Marketing team of 10 (and counting) Alexander Battery Technologies applied its strategy to support growth through exhibitions supported by a digital strategy to feed into campaigns. \nBen’s presentation will include: \n\nThe steps Alexander Battery Technologies took towards building its team\nWhat the team builds into its marketing plan… and why\nA review of the company’s successes with its strategy\nWhat it has learned along the way\n\n  \nThis is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the success of an innovative North East company with a rich heritage – and see the difference marketing has made to its journey. \nThe event will also include a panel session with marketing and sales specialists from across the engineering and manufacturing community. \nPeer to peer activity is proven to: \n\nImprove understanding – when you explain a concept to someone else\, you have to think about it more deeply and in a different way. This can help you to better understand the concept yourself – the power of thinking out loud!\nIncrease motivation – you are often more motivated to learn when you are working with others and creating a sense of camaraderie.\n\nEach Engineering and Manufacturing Marketers’ Meet-Up session will focus on a specialist topic or case study and is targeted at those responsible for marketing and sales\, business development\, PR\, and brand within and engineering & manufacturing setting at all levels. \nBuilding a Sales and Marketing Strategy to Support Growth

SUMMARY:Increasing the size of your talent pool and plugging the leaks!
DESCRIPTION:Book Now \nWe’re delighted to host Engineering Together and the Womens’ Engineering Society Tyne Tees Cluster at EMCON 23! \nThis fringe event will take place on site at this years exhibition and is open to anyone Involved or interested in the attraction\, recruitment or retention of staff within the engineering & manufacturing sector.  \nAccording to the Closing the Gap 2030 Report by MAKE UK\, in 2022 there were 92\,000 live vacancies in the manufacturing sector\, and recruitment remains a real concern.  \nSo what’s the solution? Increasing the size of the talent pool from which to fish can help…but that means no longer “recruiting engineers and manufacturers in your own image”. If we hire individuals who share similar backgrounds\, experiences\, skills and perspectives as team members and managers\, then we limit the skill sets\, the potential innovation and risk suffering from groupthink – stifling new ideas and critical thinking.  \nDiversity in terms of background\, gender\, ethnicity\, neurodiversity and experience is proven to lead to more innovative solutions\, but recruiting from a more diverse pool also comes with its challenges which must be addressed head on. And after spending time on recruitment from diverse groups\, we’re still leaking talent! What can we do to encourage retention and return to work for a diverse workforce?  \nHear tangible solutions and good practice from engineering & manufacturing colleagues on the attraction\, recruitment & retention of a more diverse workforce. Strike a balance between hiring for ease of integration with bringing in different perspectives. Promote diversity\, actively seek candidates from different backgrounds and create rounded innovative teams.  \nIt’s good for business! \nTimings \n13:00 Introductions – Jo Douglas-Harris\, Chair of the Women Engineering Society Tyne Tees Cluster \n13:05 – 14:00  \n\nREACH more candidates –  STEMAZING is a Call to Action to collectively amplify the voice of women in Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Maths so we can create a more diverse and inclusive STEM future\nRECRUIT more effectively – language\, target groups – with Lauren Bathan Associate Director – HR Partnership at Jackson Hogg Limited\nRETAIN more people – peer groups; allies; health & well being\, language\, team leader & supervisor training; culture; travel – with Paula McMahon\, Civil Engineer at Sir Robert McAlpine and Co-Chair SRM Gender Equality Network; \nRETURN after absence – flexible or phased return; – STEM Returners – A multi award winning helping employers access the very best available talent whilst improving their diversity & inclusion.\nQ & A\n14:00 onwards Look around EMCON 23

The MSS team is made up of experienced senior engineers and backed by the MTC to support manufacturing businesses from across the UK and Lloyds Bank sponsors them to provide support to SME’s. \nThe team at Lloyds have kindly offered to sponsor a visit down to the MTC in Coventry on Tuesday 10th October 2023 for EMN members. We already have 10 companies signed up and are looking for a further 10. \nCoach collection in Newcastle/Durham (depending on where most people coming from) returning the same day. One free space per EMN member only I’m afraid as there are limited spaces. \nThe SME Support Guide from the Manufacturing Technology Centre explains all the challenges the MTC can assist SME’s to address including productivity\, supply chain robustness\, digitalisation\, technology road mapping\, technology adoption\, and new product and process development. \nThey also offer a free no obligation 3 – 5 hr line walk service to gain a better understanding of your business by one of their senior engineers who will then look to suggest projects that can add value. Any support up until and including the line walk is free of charge with no future obligation as it’s part of the Lloyds partnership with the MTC. \nThis is genuinely a fantastic facility and an opportunity not to be missed.
