CBM fastener sector meeting has been arranged for 22nd September at the Grimstock Country House Hotel in Coleshill, West Midlands. The meeting will be preceded by a tour of BMW’s engine manufacturing plant in Hams Hall. Advance registration for this tour is mandatory because BMW insist on knowing in advance the names and affiliations of visitors to their factory.

 

There are two guest speakers included in the agenda. Stuart Botham will talk about the potential for tax rebates for factories and industrial buildings with vacant space. Stuart is a Senior Associate on the National Business Rates Team of PWC.

 

Mark Evans will then talk about tax rebates available for engineering development work and other industrial R&D, Mark is a Director of R&D Tax and Grants Ltd.

 

Among the other agenda items are the status of the various fastener related anti-dumping tariff actions by and on the European Union, and a discussion of the possible consequences of a proposed change to fastener standards that is in process at ISO.
