U.K. manufacturing for future decades

Meet your industry peers for lunch and hear from an expert speaker at the first of a series of events sponsored by Agilebase and hosted by The Peer Space.

Lunch 1 of 5, at Temple 1852, Bristol.
12:00-15:00, Tuesday Sep 22nd 2026.

The theme of the first in our Assembly lunch series will be: 'U.K. manufacturing for future decades', led by Dr Graham Norris.

Graham, a TEDx Speaker and renowned futurist, will lead a focused, interactive peer to peer session, exploring the uncertainties often associated with building a manufacturing business:
- the biggest uncertainties facing manufacturers regarding finance, talent and systems
- what the landscape might look like in 2031
- how manufacturers can adapt in anticipation of change and stay ahead of the future

Expect a dynamic and grounded session designed to challenge how you think about building an organisation that can successfully adapt and respond to whatever the future brings.
