It was fantastic to meet so many apprentices in Parliament as part of National Apprenticeship Week. Jayden is an apprentice at GKN Aerospace in Filton, while Rahma and Alexia are apprentices at Rolls Royce and they participated in an excellent showcase at the House of Commons, in association with ADS. Promoting apprenticeships in aerospace and defence manufacturing to expand opportunities for young people remains a key priority for me and I am so proud to see the excellent work done by apprentices on display in Westminster. It was also a pleasure to catch up with Howard Borrington from MBDA and Andy Johnston from GKN Aerospace.
