Members' Benefits

There are many great benefits from joining Electronics Yorkshire, not least that you can access the most resourceful organisation dedicated to the electronics industry in the UK. See the table below for a summary of the benefits on offer.

As a regional support organisation our focus is on enabling companies within Yorkshire and Humber to develop and thus increase levels of employment and achieve economic growth. Full membership of Electronics Yorkshire is, therefore, available only to companies actively involved in electronics manufacturing, design, distribution or similar electronics activity within the region.

Aware that companies outside the region have need for our services and that they want to do business with our members, we offer an Affiliate membership that keeps the network opportunities open and offers services at very reasonable costs.
