The service was launched in April 2002 and forms an important part of the Government's Manufacturing Strategy.
he MAS-NEPA Service covers all manufacturing related business in the North-East of England and is funded by ONE NorthEast and the European Union.
PA Consulting Group was appointed to deliver the MAS-NEPA Service on behalf of ONE NorthEast from 1st October 2008.
The MAS-NEPA Service is based at PA’s offices in Sunderland. The MAS-NEPA Service is a proven success Since 2002, MAS North East and NEPA have collectively generated over £50 million of added value for manufacturing in the North-East.
To support the Regional Economic Strategy, ONE NorthEast has combined and extended the Service until 2013 with an investment of over £30 million. Intervention examples:
