About the Event

Organised By:

The Engineering Network

Whatever you’re manufacturing, you’ll almost certainly need subcontract services at some point. This is the place to find, meet and talk with the subcontractors that can provide you with these services. All are UK based. Whether you are seeking suppliers who can take care of electronics assembly, plating, metal spinning, or provide coatings, finishings or mouldings, sheet metalwork, bending, forming or fabrication, toolmaking: whatever subcontract engineering service or supplier you’ll need is likely to be here. And every exhibitor offers you a localised, UK based source and solution.

If you’re attending on behalf of a larger OEM you will also be able to meet and talk with suppliers of the machinery, equipment and toolmaking that can allow you to perform and manage some of these operations yourselves.

This is a one-day only event that is FREE TO ATTEND and uses a unique, compressed format to provide you with maximum information in the minimum of time. You can get here easily, park at zero cost right outside the entrance, get in, get round, get all the answers you seek and get back to work in short order having made contact with localised, UK based suppliers - and you can also take in the superb National Motorcycle Museum collection too, with a free pass otherwise valued at £15!
