Manufacturers Group Meeting
Tuesday 25th March 2014 5:30 - 7:30pm
Location: Ritherdon & Company Ltd, Lorne Street, Darwen Lancashire, BB3 1QW
This Month's Guest Speaker:
Ben Ritherdon (Ritherdon) - Ben and his team will be covering Continuous Improvement Culture.
The discussion will include an introduction of who Ritherdon are and their history, what happened when they began using Lean Techniques, and future new Lean Techniques and ambitions created by the implementation of a Continuous Improvement Culture within Ritherdon.
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 have BYPHS (Bolton Young Persons Housing Scheme). BYPHS was set up in 1991 to meet the needs of single young homeless people in Bolton. The Scheme runs in partnership with other agencies including housing associations.
If you would like to come along to the Manufacturers Group please contact us to arrange a guest pass. Remember you need to be a manufacturer to attend and we do not allow people to turn up on the night without prior arrangement.
