Description
Southern Electronics attracted a quality attendance of 6524 over just two days last February, ensuring that the exhibition remains in pole position over any other manufacturing event in the UK. It is the largest and most effective annual trade exhibition devoted to engineering and manufacturing in the Southern region and is packed with initiatives and features that attract a quality audience. If you want to sell to decision makers in the South, this is the event your company needs to attend. For the exhibitor it has an unrivalled proven track record of success, it is much more than a traditional exhibition, it works for you long before the doors open and long after they close. Shaun Robson, Business Development Manager for Easby Electronics Commented “This is our fourth show and each year it gets better, with lots of high quality sales leads. In similar vein, Julian Hawes from the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy said, “I’m a real regular visitor - I wouldn’t miss the event and rate it very highly for staying in touch with developments.” The event is also enhanced by free seminars for visitors keeping them abreast of the latest updates in technology, design techniques and industry legislation. With its growing following, for 2015 it offers you the only event of it’s kind to reach industry’s key decision-makers from manufacturers and supply chains in the aerospace, automotive & auto sport, electronics, medical equipment, industrial machinery, food & drink, consumer goods, defence, packaging, pharmaceutical and mechanical engineering industries. The event is run along side the Southern Manufacturing and Auto Aero Exhibition. So if you want to meet the key players in the manufacturing industry then Farnborough FIVE is the place to be in February 2015!

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
