DESCRIPTION:https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stadler-rail-meet-the-buyer-tickets-156862294345 \nMeet the Buyer is not only a chance to quiz the key procurement team that source and select suppliers\, but there will also be a mass of additional support and information on offer at EMCON regarding the NEXUS contract and how the north east’s regional supply chain can support and engage with their projects. \nStadler will for the third time\, be the headline sponsor at EMCON Show.

SUMMARY:Dogger Bank Wind Farm Introductory Webinar – Operations
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide an introduction to the operations phase of the project where attendees will find out about Dogger Bank’s Tier 1 contractors and opportunities for the supply chain. There will also be a Q&A session for those keen to ask specific questions of the Dogger Bank team. \n\n\n\n\nDogger Bank Wind Farm is located more than 130km off the north-east coast of England and is being delivered by joint venture partners SSE Renewables\, Equinor and Eni. SSE Renewables is leading on construction and delivery while Equinor will operate the wind farm on completion. Due to its size and scale\, Dogger Bank is being built in three consecutive 1.2GW phases; Dogger Bank A\, Dogger Bank B and Dogger Bank C. In total the wind farm is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to supply 5% of the UK’s demand\, equivalent to powering six million homes. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dogger-bank-wind-farm-introductory-webinar-operations-tickets-244463967307

SUMMARY:Member to Member Event: Lets Talk: Energy
DESCRIPTION:Over the last few months we have seen energy prices soar affecting businesses profitability significantly in addition to the issues presented by escalating material and labour costs. Engineering & Manufacturing Network have been working hard to find some ways to reduce this albeit of course many of these are small measures\, but we hope they are improving bottom lines as we feel we must try and support our network and region. \nKnowing what can be done is confusing and we are hearing of slight market stabilisation in energy and also ways to reduce standing charges\, in some ways significantly. We are also hearing of ‘interesting’ methods of trying to lure businesses into new contracts that may not necessarily represent best value. \nWorking with our partners Great Annual Savings and Hartlepool College we have created an event to which we would like to invite businesses Thursday 28th April at 8am. This is an opportunity to network with your peers and also listen to the cost improvements that can be made in your business\, alongside a view of where this may all be headed to allow you to plan. \nHartlepool College have also provided an opportunity to tour their fascinating facility with a very strong focus on engineering including aviation\, automotive\, electrical and automation to name just some of their strengths. This is also an excellent way of learning how to build your future workforce through apprenticeships and upskill your current employees. \nPlease come along and join the conversation with an opportunity to speak to GAS advisors informally and without obligation. \nWhen – 8am\, Thursday 28th April \nWhere – Hartlepool College of Further Education \nAgenda: \n8.00 – 8.15am – Networking\, coffee\, etc. \n8.15 – 8.20am – Engineering and Manufacturing Network Intro \n8.20 – 8.25am – Welcome and overview of Hartlepool College of Further Education\, Gary Riches – Assistant Principal \n8.25 – 8.40am – Presentation from GAS (Craig Portsmouth) \n8.40 – 9.30am – Liaise with GAS advisers\, networking\, and College tour (if requested). \n9.30am – END \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/call-it-lets-talk-energy-tickets-293150118897

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
