“Each company will, no doubt, have a different reason for joining the GTMA, but I believe that our digital marketing programme provides a key route to market for companies,” says GTMA CEO Julia Moore. “It includes business profiles and is combined with our successful social media campaign to maximise every member’s media presence.”
She adds: “Our successful events calendar, which includes the recently held Manufacturing UK event at Mazak, our forthcoming Business Breakfast Seminar at Fanuc on 23 May and the third year of our Manufacturing Solutions Ireland event on 12 June in Limerick – with over 100 exhibition stands and the visit of the British Ambassador – are indicative of the interesting network meetings available to members and industry alike.
“We are in detailed discussions with a number of additional industry names and I am confident that our membership ranks will swell even further in the coming months.”
