Hull & East Yorkshire Manufacturers Network - Lunch, Learn and Networking

Join the HEY Manufacturers Network this Christmas for a detailed look at a member's business and to meet members over a Christmas buffet
About this Event

Join the HEY Manufacturers network for a free and informal lunch, learn and networking session just before Christmas at the Aura Innovation Centre.

Learn about the upcoming events and activities of the manufacturers network in 2025, as well as the current business support and funding available for manufacturers from the two HEY local authorities.

Hear and learn from Network member business, who will give a presentation on their business, providing an insight into operations, the sharing of best practice advice, and a look at some of the challenges faced by the business over the past year and how these challenges have been overcome.

Finally, network with other manufacturing businesses over a Christmas buffet lunch from 1pm.

This event will be informal and we would encourage all current network members to join us, as well as those manufacturing firms who are yet to get involved with the network.
