Incoming MTA President, Geoff Lloyd, Managing Director of Heller Machine Tools, delivered his first keynote speech at the MTA Annual Lunch in London on Thursday 12th October 2006.

This encouraging response includes a number of Associate Members, such as finance companies and a technical journal.
The MTA's Director General, Simon Brown says: "As an association, we are now broadening our remit to encompass all of manufacturing.
