SUMMARY:Affiliate Event: Lloyds - Markets Matter Conference Call
DESCRIPTION:Policy Rates Continue to Rise\n24th August 09:30am \n\nSince our last call\, in response to stubbornly high levels of inflation\, we have seen monetary policy increases of 25bp from the US Fed\, the ECB and the BoE. In the UK\, highlighting the uncertainty around the future path of rates\, the vote was split with 6 policy makers favouring 25bp increase\, 2 favouring a 50bp increase and 1 favouring no change. While the recent increase in the US followed a pause in rate rises\, with the Fed following their guidance that future policy changes would be ‘data dependent’ and deeming conditions were such that a 25bp increase was warranted.\nWhile data readings have always been key for Central Banks\, the message of data dependency does make it challenging for corporates to have a clear view on the future of monetary policy (and therefore market rates in all asset classes)\, especially where inflation is trending in the right direction but labour markets (in the UK and US) remain tight.\nPlease join us for our next call where we will reflect on both the output from these recent central Bank meetings and data signals in the period following the meetings. The panellists will discuss market reaction to both the meetings and other recent events\, as well as discussing what clients may wish to consider from a risk management perspective given the level of uncertainty around future market moves.\nAs Corporates prepare for the end of the summer period\, this call should give some insight in to some of the factors likely to impact markets and trading across the rest of the year. \n\nJoin the Teams Live event

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

SUMMARY:EMN Members trip to Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC)
DESCRIPTION:Our trusted affiliate\, Lloyds Bank\, partners with the national Manufacturing Technology Centre who work with Manufacturing Support Services (MSS). 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.

SUMMARY:Affiliate Event: Lloyds Bank - Markets Matter - Client Economics Call
DESCRIPTION:The start of ‘higher for longer’?  \n  \n8th November 09:30am \n  \nThe UK and US central banks paused their interest rate hiking cycles at their last policy meetings raising questions around where interest rates go from here\, while recent financial markets moves are a response to policymakers who point to a ‘higher for longer’ interest rate environment. \n  \nThere are policy announcements across UK\, US and European central banks late in October and early in November with the BoE additionally releasing their Monetary Policy Report\, which should give good insight into the updated thinking of the rate setting committee.  On the call\, panellists will digest what all of this means for corporates as they react to the changing external market environment. \n  \nAdditionally\, as we head in to 2024 many corporates are becoming further attuned to the political risk provided by elections in both the UK and US\, along with other geopolitical considerations.  To unpick some of this we will be joined on the call by Gary Cook\, our Group Head of Public Policy\, alongside our usual panel members. \n  \nGiven the updates around Bank of England policy thinking and the political considerations in 2024 this call should be of interest to all corporates and individuals. \nJoin the Teams Live event

Interested parties will be informed of the date and time in November once confirmed. \nThis project will enable the companies involved to contribute to the direction of government investment for manufacturing in the next decade. We will also examine what skills our workforce will need as we embrace technology across the shop floor and beyond. \nIf you would like to be involved and set out the plan for manufacturing for the next decade\, please get in touch with kaye@emn.org.uk at the EMN and inform her of your interest or register via the eventbrite link below. \n  \n9.45 am arrive for 10 am start. \n10.00 am Welcome and introduction to morning by Parmley Graham \nIan Connor \n10.05 am Introduction to digitisation and IoT applications \nAbhishek Doshi \n10.40 am Introduction to Community co-created distributed manufacturing platform project \nProf Atanu Chaudhuri \n10.45 am Tour of IoT display room and Digital Twin Centre \n11: 20 am Discussion on Digitalisation and IoT adoption challenges and inputs to Community co-created distributed manufacturing platform project- Prof Atanu Chaudhuri and Dr. Usman Adeel \n12:00 IoT discussion with Parmley Graham\, Jag Design team and networking \n12.30 pm Close \nBook Now
