We are thrilled to announce that the MTA has been awarded Association of the Year 2024 by the Association of Association Executives (AAE) in the UK Association Success Awards! This prestigious recognition highlights the extraordinary impact the MTA has delivered as a small but dedicated team throughout 2024.
Our efforts this year have driven tangible results for the manufacturing technologies sector. The success of MACH 2024 alone speaks volumes, with £205 million of business attributed to the exhibition, including £120 million in onsite orders. These figures represent 10% of annual sector turnover and have also driven a 30% increase in onsite rebooking for the next show.
Beyond events, we provide essential support for smaller members, offering technical advice on complex topics like BSI standards and regulatory changes, helping them stay compliant without losing critical man-hours. Our HR & Tax helpline has also been a lifeline for many, ensuring businesses receive the guidance they need.
Our acquisition of AMUK has been a transformative milestone, turning it into a revenue-generating membership base while growing the community. The services and infrastructure we’ve developed have made AMUK an essential resource for those in additive manufacturing, from finding suppliers to accessing peer advice.
In addition, the MTA continues to provide invaluable industry insights through our statistics and annual forecast seminar with Oxford Economics. These resources help our members plan strategically, backed by robust UK and European data.
This award is a testament to the MTA’s commitment to our members and the broader sector. Thank you to everyone who has supported us—here’s to an even greater 2025!
