MAA members meeting Cosworth June 2010MAA member Cosworth put its aerospace prowess on display for fellow members at its plant in Northampton in June. Cosworth, a major name in motorsport, was hosting the regular MAA members meeting that focused on the crossover potential of the aerospace and motorsport industries. The company’s Jog Lall and Mark Gallagher set out details of its successful journey and the ‘halo effect’ of the F1 racing world into which the company has made a triumphant return as an engine provider this season.

The view from the supply chain was provided by MAA members. Peter Platt of Kigass Aero Components, Eddie Shephard of Icon Polymer and Jason Aldridge of Arrowsmith Engineering commented on the similarities and differences in strategies and operations practices required to supply the two industries with their exacting standards yet different ‘clockspeeds’. MAA chairman Clive Snowdon, chief executive of Umeco, said: “It was excellent to hear first-hand about the sophisticated expertise of MAA members who serve these two markets.”
