About Us

Welcome to the North Western Automobile Division Centre



As Chairman, I am pleased to announce our forthcoming programme of events for the 2008/2009 season. We have tried to produce a schedule with some diversity, yet remaining aligned with the IMechE's key themes of Energy, Environment, Education and Transport.

Our Technical Lecture programme is delivered from Bentley Motors Training Academy. Events normally start at 7.00pm with refreshments being served prior to the event from 06.30pm. Guests are welcome at programme events.

I hope that you will find something of interest and I look forward to meeting you at one, or all of our events. We are keen to produce a programme that fulfils the expectation of our members in the area, so I would be pleased to receive any feedback.

Kind Regards

Paul Jones
NW AD Centre Chairman
