Kent Manufacturing Forum – 2026 schedule of events

The Kent Manufacturing Forum, proudly sponsored by Kreston Reeves, Barclays, and Whitehead Monckton, is pleased to announce our latest event.

Thursday 12 February – 5pm

Location: Whitehead Monckton, Maidstone

5 Eclipse Park

Sittingbourne Road Maidstone ME14 3EN

Our first event of 2026 will include a Bank of England presentation by Patrick Campbell.

Patrick will give an “off the record” look at the UK economy, providing commentary on the current situation on interest rates and their future trajectory, inflation, unemployment and GDP. Last year, Patrick stimulated fantastic debate and opinion – we look forward to more of the same!

We will then finish off with a short discussion on how to prepare for the new Employment Rights Act followed by some networking.

Book your place here.
