SUMMARY:Engineers & Manufacturers Assemble - About NET Zero
DESCRIPTION:Book Now \nMeeting NET Zero targets for the Engineering & Manufacturing sector is arguably the biggest challenge since the Industrial Revolution and whilst some companies have made great strides\, some have yet to start. \n• But where do you start? \n• How long do you have to get it done and ; \n• What will be the financial implications for your company if you don’t? \nThe Engineering and Manufacturing Network Members are assembling again – this time to get an insight into all of the above. We’ll be hearing from Tamma Carrel of ICOR Systems Ltd explaining the legislation that will start to impact all businesses shortly\, from Michael Hindhaugh of Lloyds Bank who offer free support and toolkits to help you on start or sustain your NET Zero journey. We will also hear from BTS Fabrications Ltd who recently received their Carbon Neutral Certification and are aiming for NET Zero by 2030. \n“Whilst awareness around sustainability issues is growing\, with 95% of SMEs now aware of the 2050 Net Zero target – with increasing awareness comes the need to take greater action. Crucial to making this move from planning to action is having a firm and realistic plan in place. There are positive signs that an increasing number of SMEs are establishing their plans for reaching Net Zero with 39% having set a Net Zero target and deadline to reach it by. ” Lloyds Bank Net Zero Monitor. \nBut that means that 61% have yet to start…is that your business? \nCome and find out how you can start and if you’ve already started…who is available to assist. \nPeer to peer activity is proven to: \n• Improve 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! \n• Increase motivation – you are often more motivated to learn when you are working with others and creating a sense of camaraderie. \nNB: This event is open to members and non members of the Engineering and Manufacturing Network but preference will be given to members when the event is full. \n  \nIf you make\, manufacture or engineer products please choose the Engineering and Manufacturing Company ticket \n  \nIf you deliver or sell services into Engineering and Manufacturing\, please choose the Service Company ticket option. \n  \nPlease – only one ticket per person and if you are unable to come as the event approaches – please let us know so we can release your ticket to others. Thanks

SUMMARY:Affiliate Member Event: Azets Webinar | Corporation Tax Rise: How to manage the impact on companies and shareholders
DESCRIPTION:View Event \n13th June \nFor some time\, it has generally been the case that dividends have offered company owners and directors a cost effective and flexible remuneration option compared to a bonus or salary. \nHowever\, the gap between the two has narrowed and it can no longer be assumed that a simple dividend option is the most effective route to take. Every individual’s personal and business circumstances are different\, and a remuneration review allows you to plan around your particular situation and ensure optimal tax position. \nRecent tax changes\, including the corporation tax increase\, have been influencing factors. As such\, assessing ways to manage the impact of this hike to 25% on taxable profits over £250\,000 could be beneficial. \nJoin our panel of experts as they discuss: \n\nSteps to help entrepreneurs\, business owners and directors efficiently plan their remuneration\nManaging the increased corporation tax burden\n\nWriting off business investment through the full expensing regime and deducting some or all of the value from profits before tax is paid

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:Affiliate Event: Azets Webinar | What does the future for R&D tax relief look like?
DESCRIPTION:There are significant changes on the way to both the operation of and also the benefits available under the Research and Development Tax Credit schemes. The UK’s R&D tax system has been heavily debated in recent times\, with system abuses commonplace and subsequent processing delays for legitimate claims.In order to try and address some of the criticism around the scheme and to stimulate positive change\, HMRC have conducted an eight-week consultation on the potential simplification of the relief. While the results from this consultation are collated\, there seems to be a developing expectation of how the scheme will look when any agreed reform takes effect\, which may be as early as 1 April 2024.The canvassing of opinion also comes at a time when R&D relief is set to be reduced by up to 44% from 1 April 2023.Join our panel of R&D experts as they explore what the R&D tax relief system will look like from April 2023 and beyond. The presenters will also touch on tips to help maximise the tax savings on offer\, as well as how to ensure your claim is processed effectively.Our session will feature an extended Q&A session to allow for real-life situations to be explored\, so please take the opportunity to submit any questions to be discussed at this point. Questions can be submitted upon registration.
