What you will get on the day
Rolls-Royce and the Midlands Aerospace Alliance have set up a programme at Rolls-Royce in Birmingham to give you the facts you need so you will understand what it takes to be a supplier of products and services to a global company like Rolls-Royce.
- In-depth knowledge about the structure of purchasing at Rolls-Royce relevant to potential suppliers.
- A thorough understanding of how the purchasing function operates and makes decisions.
- Meet and network with senior Rolls-Royce executives.
- Your company’s capabilities presented in an Inside Rolls-Royce Control Systems with the MAA supplier capabilities brochure that will be published at the visit.
- Tour of Rolls-Royce Derwent Building in Birmingham facilities.

- Refreshments on arrival and lunch
- Following the event, when you have had the chance to absorb and reflect on the information presented, an opportunity to state succinctly what contribution you believe your company may be able to make as a supplier, in a document that will be circulated to key decision makers at Rolls-Royce Control Systems.
Notes

- Numbers are strictly limited to a maximum of 50, so book early to avoid disappointment
- The MAA in consultation with Rolls-Royce reserves the right not to permit some companies to participate in this visit, most obviously in cases of direct competitive conflict of interest.
