Expert advice on navigating energy cost pressures and supply risk in south east manufacturing and engineering at Crawley breakfast event

Sussex and South East manufacturing and engineering businesses will hear expert tips on one of the most pressing issues facing businesses today - rising energy costs and ongoing supply challenges - at the next meeting of METALL, the forum for manufacturing, engineering and technology businesses.

The breakfast event takes place on Wednesday 11 November at the Cottesmore Hotel, Golf and Country Club in Crawley. The practical presentations will look at how manufacturers can de-cost, de-risk and build greater resilience in a changing energy landscape through a smarter approach to cost, capacity and continuity.

Speaker Paul Gregory, Group Commercial Director, HS Energy, will talk about energy generation, storage and management, and Kieron Blundell, Director of Energy Solutions at EIC Partnership, will look at procurement strategies.

Tony Summers, Partner and Head of Manufacturing at event sponsor Carpenter Box, commented: “This event is a must for business owners, finance and operational leads who need clear, actional insights rather than theory. It will provide practical ways to reduce energy costs without compromising operations, look at risk-management approaches for supply interruptions, and highlight emerging opportunities in efficiency, on-site generation and procurement strategies.”

The event will end with an open Q&A. Registration for this free event is at https://www.metall.org.uk/events/
