find out about membership

We engaged the GTMA to reach out to their manufacturing supply chain membership for support. The GTMA team took us through a structured process and very quickly identified member companies based on capability and capacity to deliver support for our projects. The process allowed us to retain control of the engagement and took us through to one-to-one meetings with the shortlisted companies. We have been delighted with the effectiveness and efficiency of this collaboration and will seek further opportunities to work with the GTMA and its membership.
