Losing tricks of the trade - prevent it happening
Trainer and researcher, Andy Pallit, seeks details of 'useful tricks of the trade' from practising and retired skilled machinists and toolmakers to pass on to today's students.
The competition is an initiative led by Hethel Engineering Centre with a number of partners to find the best innovation companies in the region.
Winners will receive 12 months' free accommodation in an office suite or workshop at the Centre - but more importantly they will also win free access to a range of specialist advice from experts with experience of supporting new innovation and early stage growth technology companies.
The Centre comprises business incubation space, conferencing and training facilities and is set to become the hub of the region's vibrant high-performance engineering and manufacturing cluster.
The Hethel Engineering Centre opened its doors for business on February 6, 2006.
The winning company or companies will be announced at the formal opening of Hethel Engineering Centre on 28 April 2006.
Bill Williams, chief executive, Hethel Engineering Centre said: "This is a really exciting initiative.
Whilst the free accommodation here is no doubt attractive the real value will be in life at the Centre with its network of specialists supporting and nurturing the business to achieve its full potential as quickly as possible.
The interest in this new Centre is amazing.
As it takes shape and people can finally see and touch this facility they are amazed at the scale and the quality of what has been achieved; it is a shot in the arm for engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs in Norfolk.".
