Please join us for the re‑launch event of the Swindon and North Wiltshire Area of the IMechE, where you can meet your new committee and help shape our plans for the local region. The event will take place at the Angel Hotel, Market Place, Chippenham (in the town centre), providing an ideal setting for relaxed networking and discussion with fellow members.

We will start with a short introduction to the committee and our vision for activities in Swindon and North Wiltshire, followed by plenty of time for informal socialising and professional networking. This is a great opportunity to share your ideas, find out how you can get involved, and connect with engineers from a wide range of sectors and career stages.

Food and refreshments
A complimentary buffet will be provided, including sandwiches, tea, coffee and biscuits.
Please let us know any dietary requirements when you make your booking so we can ensure suitable options are available.
