COVER STORY PPMA TOTAL SHOW 2016
FUTURE OF UK MANUFACTURING debate heats up at PPMA TOTAL
As the wider UK economy remains unpredictable the results of the referendum could represent a unique opportunity for manufacturing and PPMA Total provides a showcase for this sector
T
he UK manufacturing industry looks to the future with bated breath following
the results of the EU referendum. As the wider UK economy remains unpredictable it could represent a unique opportunity for the manufacturing sector should businesses consider the tactical, short- term implications and realise the importance of maintaining a focus on long-term strategic planning. According to KPMG’s EU Referendum
advisory manufacturers should be buoyed by the possibility that in the long term this result could lead to new opportunities for their businesses. A drop in the value of the pound could make the UK a magnet for trade, especially with the UK government looking to build relationships with the rest of the world. In addition, the need to reshape trade policy may result in quicker decision making and reduced red tape that has previously hampered manufacturing when looking to export goods . The PPMA Total Show 2016 will see
headline speakers including the Rt. Hon Lord Francis Maude and a range of industry experts offer insight and advice on the future of the UK manufacturing industry. Since the PPMA shows returned to the
full control of the association in 2013 the size of these events has increased by around 25% year-on-year. PPMA Total 2016 is already 50% larger than the first show of the new regime in 2014. With over 400 exhibitors the event has already firmly established itself as the industry event not to be missed with 2016 set to be one of the biggest and highly anticipated events yet. “The PPMA Total Show brings together buyers and sellers at one of the most visually dynamic exhibitions which showcases the latest processing and packaging machinery, materials, industrial automation and vision innovations,” says PPMA Group of Associations chairman Grant Jamieson. “The event provides an ideal meeting place for decision makers from across a range of industries to network with key manufacturers and distributors set against a backdrop of innovation and industry expertise.”
