Gowling WLG, central Birmingham (B4 6WR)
GKN's Stephen Cowan,
Chair of the AGP Manufacturing Supply Chain Working Group
Dr Andrew Mair, Chief Executive,
Midlands Aerospace Alliance
The aerospace industry currently faces a number of challenges related to increasing production rates, supply chain bottlenecks and resource constraints, resilience and risk management. This was a major theme at the 2025 MAA Annual Conference in March.
Now, the MAA and our national Aerospace Growth Partnership's Manufacturing Supply Chain Working Group cordially invite you to this roundtable discussion in Birmingham of how we can all work together collaboratively to address and work through some of these questions.
MAA Chief Executive Dr Andrew Mair is a longstanding member of this working group, which is chaired by Stephen Cowan of GKN, himself a longstanding supporter of the regional aerospace alliances. We'll be hearing not only from Stephen but also from Midlands Tier 1s Moog Aircraft Group and ITP Aero (at least), and we are particularly keen to complement those with good "bottom-up" perspectives from aerospace manufacturers so we all get the full picture.
Similar events are being held around the UK with different industry bodies.
Our host
We are grateful to MAA member Gowling WLG for hosting us in their prestigious Birmingham offices.
