This is my first time attending and I think it’s a brilliant event. I thought it was well laid out and really great to talk to people. I came with my company to network with people within the industry and it’s been a great success!
Theresa HicksManufacturing Engineer, GKN Aerospace
There is so much great content here. Really interesting to meet everyone! I’ve enjoyed speaking to people in the industry, really amazing to see theory apply in real life as well. I’m looking forward to next years show already!
Chunfei CheungAssociate Design Engineer, Moog
An absolutely outstanding event! We’ve met many great people who we will be looking to work with in the future, and overall it has been a very successful couple of days.

It’s been great to be back at Advanced Engineering this year. My reason for attending was to take a look at any new developments in the industry.
Ray GonsalvesSenior Engineer, Ford Motor Co
It’s been really good and there are lots of interesting people and many technologies that we haven’t been aware of before. The space element was fantastic. Attending Advanced Engineering has made me aware of many areas our business reaches into that perhaps we could develop further.

The event was lively and well attended and in talking to 10 of our members exhibiting there and other exhibitors, it was a successful and busy show. The speakers and stages were well organised, and well attended.
John PearceCEO, Made In Britain
The show was good and exceeded my expectations in terms of footfall and leads generated!
David StreeterDirector, Green Lane Automotive Consulting
The event is very well attended with quality exhibitors and stands. It’s very well organized, I was invited by Mira institute and was invited by them to go to the VIP lounge. Advanced Engineering is very forward thinking. I felt I didn’t know what to expect this year and was really pleased with the outcome as a first-time visitor. I am thinking of exhibiting for the first time next year as seeing how busy the show is after a really hard year has been very reassuring.
Tim PriceCommercial Sales Manager, H Brigham & Co Ltd
This is my first time attending the show and I really enjoyed the content. I’ve loved talking to people and they all have great ideas. I want to bring my new team here to expose them to new ideas and inspire them and this is the perfect place to do that!

Advanced engineering is a great coming to together of some great technologies, innovation and like-minded people. I attend every year and each year I'm impressed with the growth and the level of people that attend.

It’s the first year I’ve been to Advanced Engineering so I didn’t know what to expect. It’s been very interesting to be able to see all the variety of exhibitors here today and to connect with people in the industry. It’s a great way to be exposed to new and innovative content.
Callum MillwardEngineering, Caterpillar Ltd.
It’s been brilliant, I’ve really enjoyed the content! Loads of great information! It’s been so helpful for our company in terms of looking for equipment that we need.
Simon MawdsleyEngineer Leader, Paradigm Precision Burnley
It’s been so interesting. It’s lovely to get out again and see everyone after a strange couple of years! There were a few talks that displayed interest to me and it’s great to get a broader view of different industries as there is a lot of cross over here. I really enjoyed the event.
John WhittakerCalibration Engineer, Ford
