The UK's manufacturing recovery could well be put at risk by our energy supplies not equalling demand meaning production is interrupted.
 
This one day seminar will find the facts to assess the risks to your business.  Expert speakers will look at future energy perspectives; the medium supply gap and its effect on costs; what your business can do to avoid production disruption.
 
OFGEM have warned that the risk of blackouts had doubled in less than a year.  This seminar is essential to understand the facts, risks and remedies!
