In conversation: Lord Bilimoria & Professor Minshall

Following the success of his recent book, Your Life is Manufactured, the All-Party Parliamentary Manufacturing Group is delighted to welcome Professor Tim Minshall for a Q&A session with APMG Officer, Lord Bilimoria of Chelsea.

The conversation will be wide-ranging and will explore why we make things, why it matters, and how we can do it better. The session will address these issues in the changing manufacturing policy landscape, including the impact of tariffs, the increase in UK defence spending, the energy transition, and opportunities associated with the forthcoming Industrial Strategy. There will be a chance for participants to ask questions and take part in the discussion.
