It is with great delight that we report that aviation contracts worth billions of pounds have been secured at last week’s Dubai Airshow. Not only does this represent a boost to the British economy, it is a strong vote of confidence in the UK’s manufacturing capability and will secure thousands of jobs within this industry sector.
What Contracts Have Been Secured?
Etihad, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines and Silk Way West Airlines are amongst the airlines reported to have signed MoUs with Airbus and Rolls-Royce or placed orders for aircraft manufactured by the companies. Of course, the whole supply chain stands to benefit from these orders, with consultancy, construction, technology, security and manufacturing companies all playing a pivotal role in the manufacture and delivery of these aircraft to the front line.
These contracts are set to protect existing jobs within the sector as well as creating new opportunities for recruitment and up-skilling across a wide range of skillsets, including manufacturing, project management and inventory control.
Opportunities Abound for Small Manufacturing Businesses
Even small niche businesses such as www.cotswold-machinery-sales.co.uk/euromac-bending-machines/horizontal-bending-machines are set to benefit from these contracts, as specialist machinery such as Euromac bending machines will be required to enhance productivity, meeting the challenging quality, budget and time parameters set by the airlines.
In Conclusion
It has been rare over recent years to experience a flurry of high-volume contracts such as these, but the British manufacturing sector stands ready to support, investing in people and machinery that will allow for the achievement of KPIs and the delivery of outstanding equipment to the end user.
