MMMA TO CONTINUE SPONSORSHIP OF ISME SHEET METAL SKILLS COMPETITION 2005


Following the successful sponsorship of this year’s ISME (Institute of Sheet Metal Engineering) Sheet Metal Skills competition, The MMMA (Metalforming Machine Makers Association) will continue its support of the Competition in 2005 . Support from the MMMA has been given over a number of years and was enhanced in 2004 through the presentation of the new ’MMMA Trophy’ which is awarded to the entry in the Open Class which best demonstrates the use of metalforming machinery in the manufacture of the component..


The Trophy was awarded this year to David Petch, aged 17, a 2nd year apprentice at BAE Systems in Brough, Yorkshire. The Open class is open to competitors of all ages, the only stipulation being that the design must use sheet metal as the principal material. Previous entries have included a jewellery case, rugby ball, cars, musical instruments, tool boxes a football boot, a horse’s head and a bobsleigh.


The competition is organised in association with Jaguar Cars Ltd and Radshape Sheet Metal Limited for young artisans and engineers from the Sheet Metal Industry measuring their skills against others in the industry.
