Sir Digby Jones"We are very honoured that Lord Digby Jones has agreed to open the Show, " comments PPMA Chief Executive Chris Buxton. "This will give a huge boost to the event's profile as well as giving a well-regarded senior government minister an opportunity to engage directly with British manufacturers.

Details of Lord Digby Jones' schedule are being finalised but it will include a walk around the exhibition, enabling him to view some of the latest developments and innovations, and witness the high levels of expertise within the processing and packaging machinery sectors.
