Sustainability should not be a buzz-word or a marketing tool, it should be the centre of all our thought processes, strategies and planning methods. It is fundamental that we look backwards to see what we have done to our planet, to truly comprehend the changes we must make, for the industry to progress forward with a sustainable future. Panellists: Cindy McNaull, INVISTA CORDURA® Brand Tim Cross, Project Plan B Cyndi Rhoades, Worn Again Technologies Sean Moore, Carrington Textiles Alexandra Steger, Lenzing Catherine Salvidge, WRAP In Wednesday 25th November, 2:30 – 4:00pm The shortage of PPE due to COVID-19 has exposed the flaws of the PPE industry due to its dependence on outsourced supply chains, whilst healthcare and emergency services battled the heart-breaking consequences. How will this pandemic change the PPE industry’s approach to different end-users? How will PPE companies seize this tremendous growth opportunity? We have seen during this pandemic private equity companies being favoured over established manufacturers and suppliers. As an industry, how can we do better? Panellists: Adam Mansell, CEO, UKFT Richard Jessup, Sales Director – EMEA, Gerber Technology Paul Bryce, Vice President & General Manager, Chemical Solutions SBU – Industrial Global Business Unit, Ansell (UK) Ltd. Samantha Fernando Sales Director, In partnership with SATRA Thursday 26th November, 2:30 – 4:00pm The pandemic has changed the world as we know it and Brexit will be changing Britain as we know it. From the 1st of January 2021, the UK is expected to adopt its own PPE legislation, including the use of a new UKCA mark for the first time in decades. Our team of panellists are here to explain what this means to the industry and discuss how it can affect UK businesses and their international trading partners. This webinar should equip listeners with the knowledge to prepare for the upcoming changes. Panellists: Adam Mansell, CEO, UKFT Simon Courtney, Divisional Manager, Consumer Products, SATRA In partnership with Gerber Technology Friday 27th November, 2:30 – 4:00pm In a global world, where businesses need compete on an international scale, do manufacturers and suppliers have the resilience to cope in a disrupted market.
