Innovation is a key focus for the association, and its strategy for 2020 is to address the development of micro-manufacturing, coatings and surface technologies, the production of structural composite parts, additive manufacture, and advanced automation.
Arthur completed his post-graduate degree in the study of additive manufacture, one of the aforementioned areas of interest to the GTMA. His previous experience has also covered eight years in trade association work at a senior level, which included representation at government level and technical member engagement.
“As the GTMA moves forward to provide the technical strength needed to support the engineering sector, Arthur will be a considerable asset to the association,” says Julia Moore, chief executive of the GTMA. “The appointment highlights the importance that the GTMA is placing on technical development, to meet the challenges that engineering and manufacturing will face in the coming decade.”
