Why should I attend?

The South West region accounts for over 7% of the UK’s total manufacturing output, creating more than a fifth of the UK’s total GVA. With over 249,000 jobs in the sector representing 7% of the region’s workforce, the sector and its top sub-sectors – transport equipment (21%), food & drink (13%) and machine equipment (10%) - generates 10.5% of the region’s total output.*

Supporting the sector and its supply chain is, and will continue to be, pivotal to the economic growth and stability of our region, and fundamental to that are the Chartered Accountants at the heart of the sector, whether they own, lead or are employees within the sector - in a financial role, or with key strategic or operational responsibilities.

All discussions are confidential, allowing participants the opportunity for open discussion, to seek advice on common issues and to pose your questions to like-minded and supportive fellow professionals.

Whilst there will typically be no set agenda for these meetings, unless by delegate in the conversation, members are encouraged to bring their ideas to the session and to contribute to the setting of topics for future discussions.

Recent discussed topics have included:

Access to finance
Staff, salaries and union liaison
Autumn 2025 budget provisions and implications for 2025 forecasting
Cyber security
Company fraud
ESG reporting

If you would like to bring specific items to the table for discussion, delegates should send their requests for the event organiser in advance.
