growth and development. Featuring high-profile and respected
experts from IKEA, DS Smith, The British Plastics Federation and The Sunday Times, this year’s first-class, industry- responsive conference programme will focus on some of the key issues facing modern manufacturing, including Brexit, serialisation, artificial intelligence, plastic packaging, food waste, and sustainability and the circular economy. Case studies and presentations will also give visitors real examples of best practice manufacturing and excellence in processing and packaging production, aiming to motivate and inspire visitors to improve their businesses. Richard Little, show director for the
PPMA Group of Associations, said: “This year’s PPMA Total Show is topical for a number of reasons. Not only will it be the biggest PPMA show in the Association’s history, it’s taking place in the same month that the UK is scheduled to leave the European Union. As a result, it’s encouraging more businesses to think laterally about investing in new machinery and equipment to ensure they maintain a competitive edge. “New technology, working machinery
and live demonstrations are always a big draw for visitors to our shows, and this year’s Total Show will be no exception. Pre-registration is again up year-on-

I’m very confident, though, that this year’s PPMA Total Show will again provide visitors and exhibitors alike with new ideas, solutions and networking opportunities to help drive their businesses forward,” he added. In addition to a rich seminar
programme and thriving Enterprise Zone, PPMA Total Show will also house a full- scale model of the 135,000 bhp, rocket powered supersonic car, Bloodhound, which is aiming to break the land speed record in the next two years. Visitors will have the opportunity to
learn more about one of the most advanced aerodynamic and advanced engineering projects of the 21st century and how Bloodhound Education is inspiring a generation to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In a bid to inspire more young people to
take up a career in engineering, this year’s event will again house an education hub that will offer guidance about apprenticeships and how companies and visiting students can potentially gain access to funding through the PPMA’s charitable arm, BEST (Business, Education, Skills and Training).
