Elements Autumn 2024

We hope you all had an enjoyable Summer. Since the last edition of Elements, the team at Chemicals Northwest have been working hard on the 2025 Awards and we will be delighted to launch our awards and dinner sponsors in the next few weeks. We are currently in the process of choosing a host for the dinner. We hope you can all join us on the 20th March at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool for what promises to be another excellent evening of celebration and networking. Please keep a lookout via the bulletins and website for further information.
