On 20 March 2024 BAG held our Regional Networking Reception in Manchester.  The event provided a unique opportunity for engagement with a rich cross section of the UK aviation community and connect with BAG Board members who held their quarterly Board meeting in the Northern Region earlier that day. We would like to thank Turner & Townsend for hosting the reception, our guest speaker Jill Fraser, Transformation Programme Delivery Director at MAG, the leads of the BAG Northern Region Dave Manock, Geoff Dewick, Marcus Scrafton and Colin Abbott as well as our members for a fantastic evening.

BAG facilitates three BAG Regions (one of which being the Northern Region) which allow BAG members to have a voice and forum in the locality. Their aim is to provide a focus for members to help improve their penetration of UK, the local airport market and global aviation markets using the region as a focus for sharing information, collaboration and networking.

BAG Regions are open to all BAG members, but it is hoped that they will enable greater participation in BAG by the regional offices of BAG member companies and attract new members for whom a London based offer has been too difficult to access.
