Network Steering Group

A sample of companies from the network membership.

The steering group committee has been established in accordance to the distribution of the various companies within the different regions and industrial sectors. Generally speaking there was a large willingness by many of the member companies to become involved in the steering committee.

The main factors that were taken into consideration when choosing the steering group were willingness to be involved, ability to give time commitment, level of involvement in training to-date (in some cases) as well as sectoral and geographical factors. Members of the steering group will be required to liaise frequently with member companies in their specific sector / region.
