The Midlands has historically been, and currently remains, the heartland of the automotive sector. For many key global players this region is the central focus of their European operations. There are many reasons for this including access to skills, the very significant industry cluster, world class manufacturing technology, research & development capabilities and infrastructures all backed by a very strong sector relevant academic network.
