Charles Turner, Master Cutler said, “We are aware that putting a face to a name and making a connection in a place like this is very important, you throw in the regional focus and that concentration on one area, in the case of manufacturing, and you have a really great event.”

“What I really like is the buzz around doing business locally and I think that’s key. This is all about making connections between Barnsley and Rotherham companies, so they can do business together.

“It’s been delightful to see companies from the manufacturing industry, the steel supply chain and the service industry talking together because they see the symmetry and sense of doing business together.”
