I really welcome the announcement received today of the new Machine Building Show at the NEC in September – following so soon after the success of the Engineering Design show – and the announcement of the Engineering Subcontractor Exhibition which is eagerly awaited in April from the NewbyCom stable – home of the also successful FAST exhibition – all this following the success of last years Mediplas. So this year I am again looking forward of course to Southern Manufacturing which has a record of doing well.
The flowering of all this exhibition ferver surely indicates a build up of pressure for companies to grow in our UK manufacturing industry, that is not fully recognised in the tabloid press – not to mention the huge amount of innovation and expertise that fuels this confidence to grow.
