Mike Wilson is Chief Automation Officer at The MTC and Chairman of the UK Automation Forum. Mike has spent his whole career advocating for the adoption of robotics in UK manufacturing, working for the global brands and taking board positions at trade associations like Automate UK and MTA.

Mike was also the chairman of the International Federation of Robotics in 2000 so the perfect question was "has anything changed since then".
