SMIFutures Board Reflects on a Year of Success and Plans for the Future During Glasgow Visit

This week, the SMIFutures board visited Glasgow for a series of events. They started with a tour of the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) and then enjoyed a Christmas dinner and quiz on Tuesday. On Wednesday, they held their board meeting at Malin Group, followed by a tour of BAE Govan.
The group took the opportunity to reflect on the successful first year of SMIFutures and to look forward to the upcoming year. Many thanks to everyone involved in organising and participating in this event.
