“Working together in this way will ensure that the Midlands
Aerospace Alliance’s voice is heard at the highest level in
Government when it comes to policy discussions about
manufacturing.
“Collaborating with NDI will be a great opportunity for us as most
of our companies work in civil aerospace and this new partnership
will give us access to complementary defence industry supply chain
expertise.”
Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, the manufacturers’ organisation
added:
“We are delighted to welcome Midlands Aerospace Alliance as an
affiliate member of Make UK and look forward to working ever more
