EEF to host pro and anti EU debate at National Conference
EEF is holding its annual national manufacturing conference at the QE2 Centre in Westminster on Wednesday 24 February. Attended by around 800 senior decision makers from business and manufacturing, it is the UK's premier manufacturing event. Speakers confirmed at the event include the Business Secretary Sajid Javid, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Tom Watson MP, FT Columnist Martin Wolf and Business Ambassador and Apprentice Aide, Baroness Brady.
Key themes addressed by the speakers and panels during the day are how the UK can improve its productivity and export performance, along with a special session addressing the implications of the new Apprentice Levy.
There will also be a public debate between Damian Green MP, Chair of the Conservative Mainstream Group and Matthew Elliott, Chief Executive of the Vote Leave campaign, on the UK's relationship with the EU and the forthcoming referendum.
There will also be a special lunchtime workshop which is free to attend - spearheaded by Canon, with support from Infor and Vodafone - on embracing technology to drive productivity.
