Events
Leveraging my experience as a manufacturing magazine editor and my network in industry, with partners and alone I produce events from conferences and mini-summits to round tables, dinner debates and factory visits.
I have a strong track record in building events for the manufacturing and industrial technology industries. This includes curating programmes, securing high calibre speakers and venues, acquiring delegates, moderating debates, writing up reports, researching and leading factory tours. I have done this at The Manufacturer magazine and independently since 2013.

Stirling Media curates and publishes the UK Manufacturing Outlook (formerly the UK Manufacturing Review), a 250-page book, digital book and website covering the big news, developments, factory investments, academic research, R&D an RTO work now and in the next 12-months across industry.
