What industry leaders say . . .
"At Rolls-Royce our suppliers make a vital contribution to our performance. We encourage them to work openly and collaboratively with us to deliver operational excellence, innovation and competitiveness. Rolls-Royce will continue to support boosting UK aerospace capability through the Aerospace Growth Partnership and the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), as well as Sharing in Growth and the National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP).

Colin Smith, Group President, Rolls-Royce plc |
"Moog are delighted to have the opportunity to support this event which will enable us to engage with high quality suppliers to the Aero Engine marketplace."

Stuart Mclachlan, Group Vice President & General Manager, Aircraft Control Components Sector, Moog Aircraft Group |
"Predicted air passenger numbers are expected to grow to unprecedented levels with some organisations anticipating total passenger growth set to double to 7 billion by 2034. Being able to take full advantage of the predicted increases in air travel demand and the expectation that China will overtake the US as the world’s largest passenger market by 2030 is of vital importance to everyone connected with the aerospace industry. The aerospace business and supply chain in the West Midlands has a vital role in that growth and expansion. UTC Aerospace Systems looks forward to this year’s Aero Engine Forum to help drive innovation and excellence in the aerospace industry."

Robert Hupfer, Actuation Systems General Manager Wolverhampton, UTC Aerospace Systems |
"It is my pleasure to welcome the international aerospace industry to Birmingham, UK. We may not make aircraft but we do make superb aircraft engines and a wide range of innovative hydro-mechanical, electrical and electronic systems. I am honoured to join Rolls-Royce, Moog, UTC Aerospace Systems, BCI Aerospace and all of our aerospace suppliers in hosting this outstanding event in the Midlands."
