Coface conference comes to Manchester
MANCHESTER has been chosen as the location for the first Coface Risk Conference to be staged outside of London.
Coface, which provides credit management services along with country, sector and business climate ratings, said it chose Manchester because it is home to the largest professional and financial services sector outside of the capital.
Xavier Denecker, managing director of Coface, said: “The city is the logical and obvious location for the first ever Coface – UK & Ireland Country Risk Conference outside of London because it is the second city and boasts a vibrant professional and financial services sector.
“Its position between two other major centres in Liverpool and Leeds also attracted us to Manchester and we very much look forward to welcoming delegates from throughout the North and further afield.”
More than 250 delegates including directors and credit management professionals from the UK and Ireland, will attend the free, half-day conference on June 9 at the Palace Hotel on Oxford Street.
They will hear economists and country risk specialists speak on economic and trade conditions from a global, UK and regional perspective and will receive practical advice on credit management.
Speakers at the previous Conference in London included Mark Berrisford-Smith, senior economist for HSBC Bank and Graham Hutchings, managing editor of The Oxford Analytica Daily Brief.
