UK manufacturing has some of the best people, products, brands and innovation. We deserve nothing less than the best business environment to chart a new economic course to growth. But government needs to set the climate and conditions to allow this to happen.

In 2012, more than 1000 senior leaders attended our National Manufacturing Conference and Dinner to discuss the trends and shape the agenda for UK manufacturing. Live broadcasts from Sky TV, BBC News and national radio captured the conference highlights, while vigorous tweeting from inside the hall meant that the event trended on Twitter.

Join us on 5 March 2013 for EEF's National Manufacturing Conference, which is once again set to be a 'who's who' of manufacturing, politics and media.

Challenge political decision makers to deliver a business environment which UK manufacturing deserves. Gain industry insights to help your business plan ahead. Share practice by learning from each other at our workshops. Connect with senior business leaders to find new business opportunities.

Manufacturing businesses are ambitious, pushing hard to succeed in a challenging market. Manufacturers adapt, innovate and evolve to generate growth. So government must take bold action to ensure that the UK economy takes advantage of our inherent industrial capabilities.
