The Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering's Women in Plumbing Group (WPG) will be holding its Annual One-day Conference on 2nd November at the Union Jack Club, Sandell Street, London SE1 8UJ.

The theme will be "Education and Training - facing the challenge".

Speakers for the event include Claire Curtis-Thomas MP (Chartered Engineer), Caroline Slocock (Equal Opportunities Commission), Janet Shelley (Women Builders), Jenni Wood (Plumbing Lecturer) Charlotte Thomson (Plumber) and Sue Leong (Trainee Plumber).

Ursula Russell MBE (Coventry and Warwickshire Learning and Skills Council) will chair the conference.

Last year's delegates were very enthusiastic about the interactive morning session, run by Plumb Center - the Group's principal sponsor.

So, this year Plumb Center has agreed to provide an additional session after lunch.

This will be the third WPG Conference since the Group started in 2002 and it is expected that over 100 delegates will attend.

Janice Grande, WPG coordinator said: "We are very keen to have a good mix of men and women attending the conference from all areas of the plumbing and heating industry".
