Jonathan Warburton, Chairman of
Warburtons, meanwhile, will focus on how to
build a long-term business by drawing on his
own experiences of leading the growth his
business into a £550m turnover organisation.
The Enterprise Zone will also house the
Bright Ideas – Ambassador Programme,
which is a new addition to this year’s show.
It will offer free advice for start-up ventures
and entrepreneurs, or those investigating
specific products or services.
Visitors will be ‘matched’ with relevant
knowledge experts, who will offer advice,
guidance and product information. Daily
lunchtime drinks and the PPMA Industry
Awards 2018 will also allow for informal
networking during the show.
Speaking ahead of the event, Richard
Little, PPMA Show Director, said, “It’s
really important that the PPMA Show
visitor experience doesn’t cease when the
exhibition closes its doors.
“We want to ensure that the benefits of
coming along to our event continues to
deliver well beyond the show, by ensuring
that visitors take away the knowledge,
foresight and inspiration to make a positive
difference to their own businesses.
“The PPMA Show 2018 is an encyclopedia
of processing, packaging, automation
and vision companies, providing learning
experiences, networking opportunities and
hours of free expert consultation,” he added.
