NWAA backs Indian office

Posted by: Victoria Category: NWAA news Date: Thursday, September 22, 2011

At the NWAA we have been working to help establish a permanent office in India for use by our member companies.

This facility, in Bangalore, is now open. The NWAA has helped to underwrite the office, which has been opened by aerospace organisation ADS and The UK Advanced Engineering Representative Office (UK AERO), and offers a real opportunity for NW companies.

It is designed to assist in the development of UK companies’ business interests in India, and is based in the landmark Concorde Tower of the UB City – a hi-tech commercial development.

NWAA member companies can rent access to the facility, which will provide the use of an office address, hot desk facility, and support from a UK AERO expert office manager.

Businesses requiring further information about the India office should contact Alan Fisher on 020 7091 4513, or email Alan.Fisher@adsgroup.org.uk
