As a smaller company in the sector it is vital for growing our network and gaining visibility of the composite sector landscape. Thanks to Composites UK events we have the chance to extend our reach to connect to potential collaborators and business partners we never have the opportunity to meet without these events. A great example of an effective trade association lead by passionate and invested people.” – Steven Powell, Commercial Manager, Antich and Sons
“Composites UK has been really important to us as a company over the last few years. It provides access to industry specific technical advice that an SME like us would struggle to source otherwise. Additionally, the networking and technical forum provide an excellent place for us to keep up to date with industry developments and share some of our own thinking to test our planning assumptions.” – Lyndon Sanders, Director, Far-UK
“Our visibility across the composites community has not only increased since becoming members but also continues to allow us to deepen our knowledge about this innovative sector by working with our industry peers and specialists. Everyone at Composites UK is a pleasure to work with and we are looking forward to what is next in store.” – Julia Loeser, Sales & Marketing, DK Holdings
