Johnathan Dudley, Midlands Managing Partner and Head of UK Manufacturing Business for national audit, tax and advisory firm Crowe Clark Whitehill, along with members of a national delegation of manufacturers visited the Farnborough International Air Show.
Mr Dudley, who is also chairman of the Crowe Clark Whitehill Manufacturing Business Network, organised the trip to the world’s major aerospace and premium automotive/autosport event.
Part fun-part work, the aim was to bring leading locally based manufacturers and suppliers together on an “outing with a purpose”.
He added: “It is a bi-annual chance to mix with major manufacturers of military, civil aircraft and premium automotive/autosport together with their supply chains.
“The idea was for a low key trip with a difference, which would be valuable to manufacturers, helping them to network and share best practice as well as enjoying the air display.”
