Huddersfield’s MP, Harpreet Uppal, wants to hear directly from manufacturers across our area.
This CKMA breakfast meeting is your chance to put forward your views on the real issues facing our sector – from skills, exports, and energy costs to supply chain resilience and regional investment.
This isn’t a political speech – it’s a listening session. Harpreet is actively inviting feedback from local industry to help inform her work in Parliament as the government rolls out its new Industrial Strategy and detailed sector plans.
Whether you're a CKMA member or not, if you're involved in local manufacturing, this is a valuable opportunity to:
- Help shape the national agenda from a local perspective
- Feed into a constructive, facilitated discussion on challenges and opportunities in our sector
- See how CKMA gives manufacturers a collective voice and practical support
