Winkworth Group’s Managing Director Attends Prestigious PPMA Event At Houses of Parliament

Winkworth Group’s Managing Director, Grant Jamieson attended a keynote lunch at the Houses of Parliament which not only carried a clear message for today’s businesses, but also had an historical significance.

Grant was a guest at the Processing and Packaging Machinery Association’s President’s Lunch held in The Churchill Room at the House of Commons.

He was photographed under a portrait of the statesman and World War II Prime Minister – and the event took place almost 45 years to the day since Sir Winston Churchill’s state funeral.
The lunch was attended by the PPMA’s current president, Alan Yates and hosted by the PPMA’s Chief Executive, Chris Buxton.

Nearly 90 guests attended and there were presentations focusing on the importance of strategic marketing and planning and public relations management.

Also during the event questions from the floor were directed at Tom Brake, Liberal Democrat MP for Carshalton & Wallington, who was the PPMA’s sponsor.

Afterwards, Grant commented:
“I found it a very worthwhile day. I enjoyed meeting others from within our industry and listening to their views on the past and the future. Clearly the economic situation during the past year had driven the subjects of the presentation. The message I gleaned was clear; strategically plan your way out from recession and ensure your marketing plan and your message reaches those you want to hear and see it.”
