Efficiency gurus on stage at manufacturing summit
The leading gurus on manufacturing efficiency from the UK and the US will be presenting from the same stage in two mouth-watering sessions at a top UK manufacturing summit
Delegates at the conference, to be held at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry on September 20 - 21, will debate what immediate action needs to be taken by the Government and the manufacturing industry itself to avert further job losses, and also the real prospect, in certain hard-hit sectors, of a return to the three-day working week.
The unprecedented demand for energy, escalating prices, climate change and the potential of nuclear power will be discussed during a free two-day workshop and seminar programme, which also aims to share best practice in areas such as.
* Buying energy competitively.
* Understanding environmental and waste regulations.
* Waste and environmental management: the profitable benefits.
* The shifting relationship between low cost labour and long distance logistics.
* Cutting fleet fuel costs.
Dr Tim Lunel, speaker at the Conference and Chief Executive of the National Energy Foundation, said: "We will only be able to move to carbon-neutral energy systems by drastically cutting demand and by investing in mass market renewable and energy efficient projects across the country.
Events like this are crucial to create awareness and understanding of the short and long term-solutions, so that UK businesses can make positive steps to address the energy crisis".
Glen White, Group Chief Executive of the event organiser Conquest Business Media, added: "From a position of self-sufficiency, the UK economy is staring down the end of a gas pipeline that starts thousands of miles away: we are fast becoming a net importer of oil.
This promises a fragile future and demands action now.
By highlighting best practice in our industry, Energy Business LIVE aims to offer manufacturers practical guidance to prepare them for the challenges ahead".
