Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity of
wishing you all a Happy New Year!
As with any business, you always have to keep
one eye on the future. That’s why it is especially
rewarding covering events like the Scarborough
Engineering Week in the UK.
The week saw more than 2,700 schoolchildren
and students attend the fair, aimed speci cally
at giving them an insight into what a career in
engineering would deliver.
More than 30 organisations took part, making
the whole experience a fun and enjoyable one,
despite there being a serious message behind it.
Representatives from all the organisations
involved, as well as from the participating schools
and colleges, also attended a gala dinner and
building those relationships will ensure the
youngsters get a deeper insight into the industry.
There is also a raft of new appointments in this
issue wth a number of key positions in some major
companies from the industry.
Whilst on the future, wire 2014 in Düsseldorf,
Germany, is also looming very large in the window
now.
If you’re exhibiting at the show, from 7
th
to 11

April,
EuroWire
provides you with an ideal platform
to showcase your machines and technology to an
ever-expanding audience.
