NAA Awards: Get ready… for the 2019 NAA Awards Dinner – very last chance to book your table!
The NAA Awards Dinner is the Northern Automotive networking opportunity of the year, so make sure you’ve booked a seat! The event takes place on Thursday 7 November at the Mere near Knutsford in Cheshire.
The NAA is delighted to announce that Prof Jon King Hon DSc, CEng, FIMechE of WMG Centre High Value Manufacturing Catapult will be replacing Robert Llewellyn as the Dinner Guest Speaker! The late change has come about due to a shift in Robert’s filming commitments for the new series of Red Dwarf.
Jon has had an impressive career to date in the automotive sector, with past roles in Ford, Nissan and British Steel, as well as a move into automotive engineering consultancy, eventually becoming MD of the UK arm of that business. Jon’s current role is with the WMG Centre High Value Manufacturing Catapult and his focus is on the electrification of transport and supply chain development, especially at SME level.
Jon is also a long-standing member of the UK Automotive Council Supply Chain Group, recently chaired the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders’ Automotive Components Section, and sits on governance boards for automotive sector supply chain improvement programmes.
The NAA is also delighted to announce that Steve Dickson will return once again as the Master of Ceremonies for the night. Steve is a marketer and trainer and is passionate about supporting teams in customer service, sales and presentation skills, having worked in a wide range of industries including automotive.
This is your last chance to book a seat at the 2019 NAA Awards Dinner. A table of 10 is available for £800, with individual tickets at £85. For all booking enquiries please contact zoe.desoer@northernautoalliance.com
