Prime Minister Theresa May has recognised the ‘skill, energy and innovation’ of Poeton and other suppliers working in the UK’s thriving aerospace industry during her opening address at this year’s Farnborough Air Show.

During her speech, May praised the UK as a ‘leading aerospace nation’ and announced a series of investments into research and development projects that will further boost British aerospace companies ensuring ‘Britain remains at the cutting edge of the industry’.

May then applauded the role businesses such as Poeton play in the UK’s aerospace sector:

“The UK already has a leading edge. We are home to some of the biggest names in the industry – and our small and medium sized companies demonstrate phenomenal skill, energy and innovation.

Many of those companies are here at Farnborough.
