Success at Business Lincolnshire’s Greater Lincolnshire Manufacturing Conference 2022

Lincolnshire and Rutland manufacturing businesses enjoyed a packed programme at the annual Business Lincolnshire event, learning how to make their organisations more sustainable to achieve net-zero.

After a three-year hiatus caused by the pandemic, the annual conference was held at Kenwick Park Hotel in Louth on Friday 20 May, with this year’s theme focussed on ‘de-risking for a sustainable future’.

Organised in partnership with NatWest and sponsored by Greater Lincolnshire Engineering and Manufacturing (GLEAM) network, the event was free to manufacturing business leaders across the Lincolnshire and Rutland region, aiming to provide a better understanding of sustainable business practices.

The conference gave industry leaders the opportunity to discuss multiple topics, such as the practicalities of carbon capture and storage, sustainability in the supply chain, as well as providing insights into taking the first steps towards becoming net-zero. The day also included interactive workshops which allowed delegates to network and discuss sustainable practices within their own business models.

After lunch, local manufacturers Micronclean and Wolds Manufacturing Services provided exclusive tours to round off the event, offering delegates the opportunity to explore their on-site facilities and share advice on sustainable business practices.

Bob Eyre, Director at Eyre Trailers, attended the conference and said: “It was a fantastic event in every respect… meeting likeminded people, people who can help progress our varied types of business and those at the sharp end who have their daily load to carry.”
