On Thursday 10th March, Tata Limited hosted the second UK-based Tata Reception at London's Royal Horticultural Halls. The evening, which came a week after Tata Founder's Day, was a showcase of the Tata group's reach within the UK and Europe, with nine Tata companies hosting interactives stand that revealed their current focus and capabilities.

The invited guests, including company leaders, MPs and representatives of the academic world, were welcomed by Dr David Landsman, Director of Tata Limited, and Anna Soubry MP, Minister for Small Business, Industry and Enterprise.

The Tata Reception was the first time that the majority of the invited guests had seen a Tata-branded vehicle. The Tata Tiago features class-defining driving dynamics, with a new Revotron 1.2L petrol engine and the debut of the first Revotorq .05L diesel engine.
