Location: Movetech UK (Emblem Street, Bolton, BL3 5BW)
This month’s Guest Speakers:
Mark Murphy, CGR Recruitment. Mark will be helping us better understand how we find the right people for our businesses. Whether you are looking for a new Sales Manager, Production Manager or Quality Engineer, what is it that we are really looking for when we need to fill a position? Mark will be sharing how you should approach bringing new people into your business with some simple steps that will save you time and money during the process.
Helen Brooke-Jones, Brooke-Jones Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys. Helen will be running a practical session, based on the different types of intellectual property. She will aim to answer questions such as how to identify where the intellectual property might be, useful hints and tips for making the most of it and how to potentially avoid the common pitfalls.
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.
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.
