It has been great being based in Scotland this week and connecting with Plyable's prospects and customers, north of the border. Tuesday took me to the Manufacturing and Supply chain conference in Glasgow where I saw many friendly faces including the fantastic Gabriela Matic from Metta and Venture Partner at Aerospace Xelerated for a quick catch-up and a snap 📸 There are some incredible projects being spearheaded in Scotland and the engineering landscape for composites is buoyant. I look forward to doing more exploring around the composites capability and innovation taking place in Scotland and of course topping up my accent at the earliest opportunity! #engineering #composites #tooling #compositeparts #maritime #aerospace #automotive #AI #computervision

As a predominately remote 🌎 team, we make an effort to get together a couple of times in the year in person to discuss strategy and plans, as well as spend some quality time together. ❤️ Last week we had the opportunity to meet up in gorgeous Granada 🇪🇸 and join our Head of Comms (and new mum 👩🏾🍼 of the team!), Gabriella G. Hernandez ☀ We took the time to reflect on the last year, the wins, the challenges and lessons learned. We also shared our personal and organisational aims and objectives 🎯 in the mid to long term. Of course, the trip would not have been complete without a visit to the absolutely incredible Alhambra (photos do not do it justice) - as well as a lovely dinner accompanied by a top-class traditional Flamenco performance 🕺💃! We were inspired by how the historic city has managed to preserve and build upon its unique blend of cultures and heritage over centuries 🌟 The only thing that would have made the trip even better would have been to have our amazing Senior Programme Manager Gianna Pinasco with us - we look forward to seeing her soon! 💕 So grateful to be a part of this brilliant team, and thank you everyone for your continued support ❤️ We can't wait for the next one 🙌 -- Gabriela Matic | 💃 Wil Benton | Nicole Whitelaw | Stephanie Shaar | Matt Briggs #Metta #MettaTeamOffsite #MettaTakesGranada #TeamBuilding #BetterTogether
