Speaking of pressure, if you're under any at all to deliver a better machine design or provide a factory automation performance boost, come to MachineBuilding.North on April 10th and marvel at the latest advances in technology on show. You can also inspect BA Concorde G-BOAC at first hand too.

As well as taking in all the latest developments in machinery safety and advances in machine building and factory automation innovation, you can take a free of charge guided tour of Concorde.
