We are delighted to welcome you to EMMN member, Mackworth Vehicles Conversions Specialists, who are hosting this meeting for us.

The Derby Manufacturing Network forms part of the umbrella East Midlands Manufacturing Network which is led by East Midlands Chamber.

We have laid strong foundations to make this and our other local networks across the East Midlands a success. How?

By securing impressive host locations and by putting in place experienced facilitation team.

We now need you to come along and tell us what is most important to you and your business. We want to develop a trust peer to peer environment between all the members, and shape the network to your needs – great or small!

Identify common issues and problem solve, in a trusted, collaborative environment. Encourage best practice and the sharing of skills across member companies. Create a positive perception of UK manufacturing. Promote growth in our sector. Attract manufacturing businesses to Derby and the East Midlands.
