Secretary of State for Wales Visits Raytheon’s Home of Airborne Solutions “The British Aerospace industry is vitally important to the future economy of this country; it is the second biggest aerospace industry in the world and is easily the biggest in Europe,” said Secretary of State for Wales, the Rt Hon David Jones MP in an address to employees during his visit to Raytheon UK’s facility at Broughton on 3 April 2014.

The UK Ministry of Defence’s recent decision to extend the Sentinel R Mk1 programme beyond 2015 provided a strategic backdrop to the visit.

The Secretary of State took the opportunity to personally thank Raytheon employees for their hard work on the Sentinel R Mk1 and Shadow Mk 1 platforms which he described as “important assets for the UK Government”. He further assured the company of the Government’s commitment to both aerospace and defence citing government-funded initiatives such as the Aerospace Growth Partnerships to build upon the British Aerospace industry and emphasised the importance of Raytheon’s Aeronautical Apprentices pictured with the Secretary of manufacturing and export for Wales and the UK economy.
