Tina gave a presentation to 103 attendees and spoke how to adopt a practical approach to demystifying marketing and about business plans and budget constraints specifically aimed at the manufacturing industry. In addition to being the Managing Director of Tri-Synergy Marketing, Tina has also run her own manufacturing company in the past and has over 20 years marketing experience at senior level. Throughout the morning, there were talks from Dr Martin Thomas of the Arkwright Scholarships Trust and Bob Bushby from Nielsen McAllister PR. 

After the talks, there was a 3 course sit down meal which gave the PPMA members an opportunity to network and share ideas. Tina said “We felt privileged to have been asked to present at the PPMA Chairman’s Lunch and the audience asked many questions which invoked a discussion of how manufacturing businesses should view and apply marketing to their businesses. We were also given the opportunity to have a tour of the House of Commons and the House of Lords in the afternoon which was extremely interesting.”
