Speakers:


Nathan Phillips is the Director for Planning and Analysis at the Department for Exiting the European Union, DExEU. He is also the Whitehall Senior Sponsor for the LEP. Previously he was Executive Director at UK Government Investments, where he led work on rail assets and housing market interventions, amongst other projects.

Nathan started his career at PwC undertaking policy, commercial and economic analysis around energy and utilities markets.

 

Kevin Oakes oversaw the growth of overseas sales at world-renowned Stoke-on-Trent-based tableware manufacturer Steelite, resulting in exports making up almost 90 per cent of its £102m turnover. In 2016, he bought Royal Crown Derby with a plan to double turnover over five years to £10m, driven by exports.

Kevin, who is also president of the British Ceramic Confederation and a Stoke and Staffordshire LEP board member, has been working closely with government on a deal for the ceramic sector, to unlock the potential of the industry.
