Star attracted over 60 representatives of the Midlands manufacturing sector to their brand new headquarters, in turn Managing Director of Star, Steve Totty said: I thought it was very good, it was nice to meet manufacturers who we dont know.
Star broke attendees into groups for their showroom tour, which enabled guests to gain an interesting insight into how their factory operates on a daily basis. Senior Area Sales Manager, Mark Anson took attendees on an informative trip around their factory, which received great feedback on social media:
Made in the Midlands breakfast mornings help to facilitate networking amongst directors of local manufacturing and engineering companies within the Midlands. They provide an ideal platform for future collaboration between attendees, as each company provide a 60 second overview of their company capabilities.
