June 3, 2011 - PRLog -- While the main conference and breakout session themes are built around “quality and continuous improvement”, MAS has added a “Meet the Expert” business growth session. These are for manufacturers who might want to know about future opportunities that could help grow their businesses.

A panel of expert industry advisors from the Off-Shore Wind Energy, Nuclear and Automotive sectors, as well as experts from UKTI North West, will be available for 30 minute one-to-one meetings to explain the latest developments, supplier requirements and barriers to entry in their respective sectors. However delegates are advised to book their session before the day of the conference, as places are strictly limited due to time constraints on the day.

The “Elevating Excellence” conference is free of charge to small and medium manufacturers in the North West who may register at http://journey9.co.uk/MAS, by telephone on 0161 831 0261 or by fax to 0161 425 1069.

Any manufacturers requiring more information and to avail themselves of a “Meet the Expert” session should visit http://journey9.co.uk/MAS/meet-the-expert for more details and contact Eleanor Bull on telephone 0161 831 0261 to register for the session of their choice.
