Hull & East Yorkshire Manufacturers Network - Christmas Networking

Join the HEY Manufacturers network for a free and informal networking session just before Christmas at the Aura Innovation Centre.

Learn about the upcoming events and activities of the manufacturers network in 2025, as well as the current business support and funding available for manufacturers from the Hull & East Yorkshire business support teams.

Hear from Dale Waterson of K&G Yorkshire Ltd, who will give a presentation on his business, and provide an insight into operations, the sharing of best practice advice, a look at some of the challenges faced by the business over the past year, and a look ahead to future plans for further business growth and development.

Finally, network with other manufacturing businesses over a Christmas buffet lunch from 1pm.

This event will be informal and we would encourage all regional manufacturers to join us, including those firms that are yet to get involved with the network.
