SMEs by definition are relatively small and often do not have high profiles in the market place. However, large companies are recognising the vital role SMEs play in their supply chain.

Many large companies are actively engaging with SMEs by making opportunities available to them.

Ian Robinson, Procurement Director for Innovia Films is asking SMEs to come forward and make themselves known to Innovia.
