Four members of the UM team attended the annual EEMUA dinner, which this year marked 75 years of driving engineering excellence and industry good practice.

The event, held at the Cottons Hotel in Knutsford, Cheshire, brought together representatives of member and associate companies of the EEMUA (Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association) from across the UK and further afield.

Attending on behalf of UM were Phil McEvoy, Group Terminals Director, Charlie McEvoy, NDT Technician, Barry Lawton, EC&I Lead, and Liam Crowley, who has recently been promoted to the role of Inspections Manager of United Inspections.
