The Humber Branch of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) are leading on Transforming the Humber 2015 Conference; which will take place on the 25th June at the Mercure Hotel in Willerby from 8.30 am to 1pm. 

Key speakers at the event include Paul Sewell from the Sewell Group , Mike Jones the HR Director from Siemens, and Finbarr Dowling, Project Director at Siemens  

Chris Brown, Chair of the CIPD Humber Branch is passionate about the conference in which the important aspect of workforce skills and development will be discussed.  He said, “This conference will enable delegates to participate in discussions on both the business and workforce implications of the growth of the Energy Estuary.   It will be an opportunity for businesses large and small to gain insight into the opportunities available and prepare their workforce for the prospects of growth in the years ahead.”

Siemens’ Hull Project Director Finbarr Dowling said: “Our investment in creating world-class wind turbine manufacturing and assembly operations in Hull will involve the largest recruitment project this region has seen for many years, so issues around skills, learning and development and human resources are top of our agenda.

“We are totally committed to working with a wide range of partners to develop the highly skilled and flexible workforce Siemens will require and the Humber needs to enable the region to fulfil its economic potential.

“This important conference will bring together key players in the region’s industrial renaissance, human resources experts and professionals working in this field across the Humber. It will be an excellent opportunity to identify and debate the key issues around skills, recruitment and workforce learning and development.

“It will also help to develop links and partnerships to support the promotion of best practice in skills development across the region, for the benefit of existing employers and new investors.”
