HMA International event





STUART GIBBONS TALKS ABOUT:

MANUFACTURING AND INTERNATIONALISATION

In additional to my own company Le Mark  I am very proud to be the current ‘chair’ of the Huntingdonshire Manufacturers Association , with a superb committee of proactive Huntingdonshire companies. We are all volunteers and have been strongly supported by Huntingdonshire District Council – Economic Development Team. Now to reiterate , we are volunteers and do what we do with the aim of building a stronger business region. We are all from different business sectors and are happy to give our time, passion and experience to other companies for FREE. In an effort to help them take up the challenge to become British exporters.  

Exporting really is incredibly important to all companies in this region from ‘start ups’ to growing SME’s . We just can’t keep on selling to the UK market, we have to take what we make/design/or as consultants can offer out to the rest of the world ! ALL business need to be thinking “ can we be exporters ? “  The HMA team of professional business people are doing what they do for no other reason that they are passionate about encouraging business to succeed through export in addition to their home market

So and here is the pitch , on the 3rd October the HMA is holding an event at this regions ‘Enterprise Zone’ based at Alconbury Weald . We hope strategically the ideal location to bring together business from Huntingdon, St Neots ,Sawtry ,Peterborough and yes ….even  Cambridge !  The event is titled “ internationalising your business” and will have a superb ‘key note speaker’  Keith Lambourne MBE.

Keith is an highly experience exporter and currently Sales Director for ACO Concrete Products . Keith is also going to be offering his time for FREE to all companies that want a short  20 minute one to one FREE advisory conversation. We have a local case study company that will tell it how it was for them ‘warts and all’ , but they persevered and now have the rewards.

If  your selling your products to Plymouth why not Paris ?  If you have customers in Birmingham then why not Berlin ? No matter what your size of business then NOW is the time to start to consider making it global .

I am happy to tell you more about the HMA and hopefully encourage more local companies to get involved . If anyone would like to join us at the event to see the HMA in action you are very welcome 8.30 am start , Building 56, Alconbury Weald, Alconbury Airfield, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire PE28 4WX
