The UK aerospace industry and government are working more closely than for many years. As Prime Minister David Cameron said when opening the Farnborough Air Show, “we’re not picking winners -- we’re backing winners.”
But what does this mean in reality for companies in the Midlands aerospace supply chain? Is their voice being heard? Can they influence the emerging new national aerospace strategy?
This special MAA members meeting presents all our members with a tremendous opportunity to hear from our industry's leaders and the government who -- through the “Aerospace Growth Partnership” -- have been formulating the plans. And you will have adequate opportunity to “have your say.”
