Online - in print - why both?
IT was November 2006 when
Mike Excell announced our
rebranding; with the launch of
the new website the process is
complete. In print,
Metalworking Production has
become MWP, and online,
metalworkingproduction.com is
replaced by the new look
mwponline.com.
NEWS
Both MWP and mwponline.com
are dedicated to informing you -
the production engineers,
designers and pillars of industry
- who form our regular 17,000
strong readership, but they
have complementary roles.
mwponline.com, not restricted
by pagination or print deadlines,
is our way of putting the latest
news stories, case studies and
new products in front of you - as
they happen. We hope you’ll
come to think of
The MWP 2008
Awards start here
ARE you proud of your achievements in
delivering or using production engineering
technology? Why not measure yourself
against the industry benchmarks set by the
most important - and enjoyable -
competition dedicated to this sector.
The MWP Awards were devised 25 years ago as
a way of recognising outstanding achievement in
machine tools, production equipment and
services, and subcontract engineering. Their
culmination, with presentations, top-class
entertainment and dinner, is long established as
the major evening event during the MACH and
Subcon exhibitions. It next takes place on
Tuesday 22 April 2008 at the Hilton
Birmingham Metropole Hotel, by the NEC.
Most of the category sponsors are now in
place, as are the judges - a panel of top
production engineers, independent editors
and consultants, and leading academics
working alongside the manufacturing sector.

mwponline.com as a daily
must-read and remember,
sometimes the news is YOU
and, when it is, we want to
hear about it. Please include
mwponline.com on your
distribution list the next time
you want to tell the engineering
world what you’re doing, and
what you’ve achieved.
SURVEY
If you’ve not yet visited
mwponline.com, November
15th to December 12th may
provide the ideal excuse. After a
browse around the news
headlines, follow the link from
the homepage and take 10
minutes to complete our MWP
Magazine Readers’ Survey. This
is your opportunity to tell us
what we’re doing right in MWP,
and what we could be doing
better. Would you like to see
more about training and
careers? More industry ‘People
and Personalities’? Fewer
features, but more technological
depth? We’re all ears - well,
eyes in this case - and we want
to know what you think.
To show our appreciation of
your time (we know you have
busy lives) all completed
surveys will be entered into a
prize draw for one of four digital
cameras we have on offer. Prize
winners and survey findings will
appear on the website during
January, and then in MWP’s
March edition.
Send your news to the Web Editor:
gill.watson@centaur.co.uk
Details on the cabaret and compere will
follow, but we can promise you that they will
maintain the consistently high standard set by
all our previous events - and that you, your
clients and colleagues will have a great night
out. Remember, any production technology
supplier, developer or user can enter - not just
those exhibiting at MACH or Subcon.
