Last month, unLTD Business Magazine, in collaboration with Brook Consult, brought together experts from the manufacturing industry for the second Working Lunch - a new series to spotlight innovation and growth across South Yorkshire's business community.
Representatives from the manufacturing industry across the region came together last month for unLTD Business’s July Working Lunch, hosted in partnership with Brook Consult. From Process to Platform – Laying the Groundwork for Digital Transformation, was held at Victoria in Neepsend and featured a panel including Master Cutler Phil Rodrigo, Brook Consult's Andrew Armstrong and industrial transformation expert Nick Leeder who explored how businesses can embrace digital tools without being distracted by buzzwords or tech hype.
Andrew Armstrong, Commercial Director at Brook Consult and Certified SIRI Assessor, said: “It was fantastic to be at the Victoria again for the unLTF Business event. I really enjoyed speaking on the panel – it was an engaging conversation with Ian, Nick, Phil and the audience. It highlighted the issues facing organisations in these challenging times, while also focusing on the potential positives of change.”
Brook Consult owner Dom Brook added: “It was fantastic to bring together the South Yorkshire manufacturing community to openly discuss how we embrace smart industry and digitalisation. Events like this are vital for laying the groundwork, not just for technology adoption, but for building a shared vision of a more connected, future-ready manufacturing landscape.”
Made Smarter Adviser Vernon Tolson said: “Fantastic event today. Avoid buzzwords and focus on what outcomes manufacturers are really looking for.”
Dan Laver from BIDBI added: “I wasn’t sure how the SIRI assessment worked – now I see its value in benchmarking digital readiness.”
The next unLTD Working Lunch will be held at the same venue on October 16
