This month’s Guest Speaker:
Nikki Ashwell, InXpress. InXpress are a down to earth Logistics Company, employing genuine people whose personalities fit well with other members of the Manufacturers Group. Due to their collective knowledge and experience in all areas of transporting goods, a reputation built on saving business’ a lot of money, and the fact that the majority of their customers are manufacturers, we have asked Nikki Ashwell to present an informal discussion on logistics. To begin, Nikki will provide a brief background of InXpress and their experience in different areas of shipping. She will then look at different business needs, sharing with the group best practice tips. Finally Nikki will provide a Q & A session involving a group discussion around common concerns and questions, and how to avoid problems/issues.
The Manufacturers Group Meeting Format:
· We don’t follow the format of other networking groups with a 1 minute pitch or pressure people for referrals.
· We drink tea & coffee and eat good old Pie & Peas while chatting informally.
· We are very friendly and open about improvements we have implemented; funding we have utilized, new technologies, useful suppliers and other benefits, such as, referrals to new clients that will help other attendees increase their bottom line and grow their businesses.
· We make a difference by supporting local charities.
· We are currently a combination of 50 local manufacturing businesses, which is growing rapidly month on month.
There is a £15 entry fee which is donated to a local charity each month. This month we will be welcoming Paws for Kids, (www.pawsforkids.org.uk/) a charity that is designed to support women, children and their pets escape from a life of violence and abuse to a better and caring future.
