NEW lease of life

Exhibitors and organisers have issued a rally cry to everyone involved in the electronics sector to support National Electronics Week (NEW). The UK electronics industry exhibition holds its inaugural event at London’s Earls Court from 17-19 June 2008. NEW was conceived to provide an event that showcases every aspect of today’s electronics market, and features seminars and workshops, a live brokerage area from UKTI, two interactive production lines to demonstrate leading edge technologies in action, and a whole host of other activities for visitors. Claire Jeffreys, event director for NEW, said: “National Electronics Week aims to bring the whole electronics industry together which is of vital importance in drawing attention to the value of the electronics sector to the UK economy. We urge everyone to come along to the event, celebrate our world class capabilities and put the UK electronics industry back on the map!” More than 300 UK based companies and trade associations have signed up for the show.
