Happy Holidays….
happy holidays….
oh the manufacturers are making….
happy holidays….. for…. you……

If you say that paragraph again to a little holiday song, it will make more sense. We don’t sing in this one, but it is our version of a Holiday Office party MassMEP style. We chat with Center Director, Kim Ingalls and Sales and Marketing Director, Kristy Grignon on the past, present and future of the holidays at MassMEP and in manufacturing across Massachusetts. If you want to get into the holiday spirit, past, present or future, don’t be a “scrooge” and subscribe to the podcast today.

Happy Holidays from our MassMEP family to yours!!
