1 min read

The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) is encouraging subcontractors to attend an event at JCB, Rocester, Staffordshire, on Wednesday, 6 July, to see "how the MTA can support supplier businesses and help them to connect and grow with the manufacturing technologies sector".

The free-of-charge will be hosted by JCB at its cutting-edge engineering facility in Staffordshire and will, says the MTA, offer a great chance to network with key players in the manufacturing industry.

Following lunch, delegates will be able to tour JCB's facilities. JCB is keen to keep as much manufacturing as possible in the UK, both in its own facilities and through growing the company's UK supply chain. Lunch and refreshments will be provided, but places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
