Manufacturing leaders, innovators, partners, and supporters came together at Helloworld Travel HTG's incredible Hunter Street venue, The Explorer Lounge, for an evening of catchups, networking and valuable industry updates.
We heard from HMA Chair, Jacqui Daley on how the Hunter Manufacturing Awards 2025 program is progressing as we draw closer to the end of the applications process and move into judging. We also heard from Greg Gates - Sirron Holdings Group about their latest manufacturing challenges and achievements, Tara McGrath - Helloworld Travel who shared updates on the latest international travel flights and deals for business travel, Andrew Caska GAICD - Caska Intellectual Property on IP rights in Australia and internationally for manufacturers, Mathew Dempsey - Downer Group Rail and Transit Systems on what is happening at Downer, and their latest key manufacturing initiatives, and James MacDonald and Melinda Sietsma - Newytechpeople who shared the latest trends they are seeing in engineering and manufacturing across the region, and what we can learn from the state of the market.
A big thank you to Sirron Holdings Group for sponsoring this event and to everyone who joined us to make it such a success. It is always a favourite on the HMA calendar.
