Members enjoy a great May meeting

16 members attended the first ITSA meeting of 2017 which was held at Howbery Park on the 16th May.

After a few introductions to new and prospective members the Chairman presented the final 2017 product and market data for the association. 2017 was a very successful year for all members who enjoyed an average of double digit growth in the year over 2016, almost all product areas grew with some exceeding 30% growth. The key member markets also performed very well with Mil/Aero leading the way followed by Mass Transport and Data Processing. Distribution as a sales channel continues to be very important to all members and 2017 saw the overall distributor business increase mainly on the back of export business related to weak sterling.

Most members indicated that they still expect growth in 2018 but probably lower than 2017.
In some cases Q1 of 2018 proved challenging and for others it was excellent, this is very much influenced by key projects being released. Generally bookings had increased substantially but this had tailed off in April/May
Value add continues to be on most members radar and is increasing, this is evident in the 2017 year stats.
Distribution continues to perform well but this has also started to slow down in the 2nd quarter.
Most members commented that lead times were increasing and that some communication of this with customers has either already happened or is planned, the same can be said for pricing which in a number of cases is being driven up by increased material costs or transfer pricing.
In summary most members remain positive about 2018 and a growth of low double digit was not uncommon amongst the attendees, this is tempered a bit by the uncertainty that remains over the effect of Brexit which is now only 9 months away.

Our guest speaker at the May meeting was Stuart McHale of Heart of Business,  www.heart-of-business.co.uk who talked to members about “preparing for the unknown” with BREXIT in mind.
