“It has been a pleasure once again for the Institution of Mechanical Engineers to be associated with the GUTS event. One of our main priorities is to help promote the wide range of careers that exist in Engineering, and the various routes into them, to our next generation of talent and GUTS continues to show, year on year, that the enthusiasm for engineering & manufacturing here in Sheffield is as strong as ever. It plays a crucial role too in giving local youngsters the information they need to make an informed career choice. The Institution’s stand was inundated throughout the day with inquisitive youngsters, so who knows, GUTS may yet help to produce a few more Hunstmans, Bessemers and Brearleys!!” Steve Wainwright, IMechE Yorkshire Region.
