“As we respond to customer demand with enhanced capabilities in remote collaboration and workflow optimisation, this is the perfect time for us to be partnering with such a dynamic and influential group,” said Patricia Hume, CEO of Canvas GFX. She added: “The presence of some of our largest customers, as well as the active promotion of women in technology and manufacturing, adds further appeal. We look forward to active participation within the community.”

Mike Yucuis, Government Engagement Manager at MxD said: “We are pleased to welcome Canvas GFX to the MxD network. As a provider to both primary defence contractors and smaller sub-component manufacturers, Canvas brings a high-level understanding of essential communication workflows and processes in manufacturing and a clear culture of innovative thinking.”
