“The Manufacturer’s Alliance is a refreshingly honest peer group that enables you to get under the skin of the issues that matter. From my first taster session, I felt an overwhelming sense of belonging.
I was inspired, supported and most importantly, challenged.
I am looking forward to using the power of the group and the MA to supercharge my network and my personal and professional development. It isn’t just about business but investing in you, which is good for business.”

She’s pragmatic, she’s great with people and tackles everything head-on. I’m confident she will be a brilliant member of the West Manchester peer group.”
