Hitting the right notes
October saw two events that have served to bring together and celebrate the very best of design engineering. And I am proud to say that both were organised by Eureka's parent company, Findlay Media.
The first was the inaugural Engineering Design Show, which took place on 10th-11th October and attracted more than 1,600 design engineers to the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, to see the products and services offered at the only exhibition in the country tailored specifically to them.
The second was the British Engineering Excellence Awards Ceremony held in London on the 25th October. This was the fourth such event and, by celebrating the very best of design engineering, the BEEAs have come to establish themselves as prestigious and highly-valued benchmarks of quality in product design and development.
Of course, investment in these events serves to demonstrate Eureka's and Findlay Media's ongoing commitment to supporting design engineering in the UK. However, what is more important is that their success demonstrates that you, our readers, are enthused by and supportive of our ideas and products. After all, without your attendance at the Engineering Design Show or your readiness to enter and support the BEEAs, neither event could exist – let alone be held to be a success. For that, we would like to offer our sincere and heartfelt thanks.
Of course, from my perspective, it was a particular pleasure to have seen and spoken to so many readers at these events. To see first hand how loyal to and engaged with Eureka many of you are is both gratifying and inspiring. And, of course, it makes us even more determined to maintain our commitment to offering you products that continue to capture your imagination and offer real value to the modern design engineer.
