The Institution of Mechanical Engineers Devon & Cornwall Area Committee would like to invite you to a technical visit of the British Ceramic Tile Factory based in Heathfield, Newton Abbot.

The tour is scheduled to take 1.5 - 2 hours. Stout footwear is a requirement otherwise you will not be allowed on site. Hearing protection will be provided as necessary.

British Ceramic Tile is the largest manufacturer of ceramic & glass tiles in the UK, with a long-standing British heritage. From their state of the art factory situated on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon, they are uniquely placed to supply quality tiles, with an unbeatable level of service to meet the diverse needs of their customers.

The manufacturing plant has received a multi-million pound investment over the past decade, and their ability to produce HD (inkjet) technology and glass tiles our second to none.

We hope that this visit will capture people’s imagination and inspire you to support the activities of the IMechE by supporting our committee.

If you believe that this event will be of interest to your friends, family or colleagues please invite them along (remember to ask them to book their own tickets).

This FREE event is open to members, non-member and the general public.

The committee seeks to bring together aspiring, developing, and experienced engineers, and members of the general public to promote the benefits and achievements of the engineering profession.

The newly formed Cornwall branch will organise a wide portfolio of events and activities, most of which will be open to the general public and free to attend.  These will include evening lectures for general interest; technical visits to local engineering firms; social and professional networking events; engineering competitions; and mentoring opportunities for local students and professional engineers.

In addition, the committee will engage with local schools to support the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects and offer careers advice to young students.
