What is the Coventry Young Members Panel?
Coventry has been at the heart of Automotive industry since the birth of the industry in the early 20th Century and remains a popular area for engineering firms to base their business. The Young Members Panel is now moving into a new era with a new committee. This makes it an ideal time for you to get involved and determine the direction that the panel takes in the future.
