Association with NAA
Members since 2014 – we find the site meetings really interesting and generally members are always keen to collaborate.
Why did you join the NAA?
Most of our team have worked in automotive and/or manufacturing at some point, so we love nothing more than visiting sites and looking at processes/products. Our Head of Automotive is a real petrol head (with silent passion for EV) and an automotive fanatic.
