According to Evelyn Campbell Smith, the Travel Bursary Secretary for the North West region, the attending members had thoroughly enjoyed Nina’s talk and felt even more strongly that what she is doing is of immense potential benefit to the motor industry. The BFWG have invited Nina back to speak again in March next year.
