What is the Greater Peterborough Manufacturing Association?
Greater Peterborough has a proud history of manufacturing and engineering. Recent years have seen huge changes within the sector, with greater moves towards automation, process efficiency and new technologies.
In this fast changing environment we believe it’s vital for companies within the sector to be able to come together to learn from each other and industry experts to increase their ability to be competitive and sustainable, which is where the Greater Peterborough Manufacturing Association (GPMA) comes in.
We’d like you to join us to help shape the future of manufacturing and engineering within Peterborough and the wider area.
The GPMA meets every other month and is open to senior management (CEOs, MDs, Directors etc) from manufacturing* companies in the Greater Peterborough area.
