Advanced Engineering Show, NEC Birmingham - 12-13 November 2013 - Safran

Had a great day at the show yesterday, met 10-15 companies with international activity and also gained a deeper insight into the aerospace, automotive and composites sectors.

It's always great to get out of the office and talk with senior managers from companies who are focused on growing their businesses and bringing innovation into their sectors.

Below there's a photo of the landing gear for the Airbus A350 which is manufactured by the Safran Group. I must admit, I was taken aback by the size of the leg and also by the precision and quality of the engineering.

As a result of the day byesterday, we'll be following up with the companies we met, all of whom seemed interested in sharpening up their freight models, often an area left well alone, although of course the performance of this area has a big impact on their production lines and also landed costs and cost to produce so if our average 35% freight saving per client is applied to any of these customers, I'm sure they'll be very happy. Even better of course that our fees for the work we do in these reviews are self funded, leaving the client with around 60% of the savings to benefit their bottom line, not to mention the other spin offs which benefit them.


Kind Regards
