Manufacturers to talk about opportunities, challenges and inspiring future generations

Leading ladies from the Yorkshire manufacturing sector will speak about their successful careers in a traditionally male working environment at TheBusinessDesk.com’s next Women In Business lunch.

Taking place on Friday February 16, the event will focus upon the opportunities and challenges they have experienced and how they are looking to inspire future generations into the manufacturing industry.

Our panel of speakers will be:

Joanna Robinson, managing director of Bradford-based air management experts Mansfield Pollard

Victoria Hopkins, managing director of Hopkins Catering in Leeds, manufacturers of commercial catering equipment.

Karen French, the head of Squire Patton Boggs’ manufacturing group in Leeds.

Robinson has been MD at Mansfield Pollard since 2013 and in that time has led a significant change in the culture and performance of the organisation.

Hopkins is the third-generation custodian of the family business and has worked in the industry for around 20 years.

French acts for corporate real estate clients across a breadth of businesses and works very closely with manufacturers across the region.
