Defence firm Leonardo has agreed a deal to continue outsourcing some engineering work from its helicopter manufacturing site in Somerset to consultancy Morson Projects.
The agreement will see Morson sub-contract work from Leonardo's Yeovil base through subcontractors and its UK design offices in Belfast, Manchester, and Hull. The two firms, which have collaborated for more than 20 years, said the move would extended their partnership into a third decade.
Adam Clarke, managing director of Leonardo Helicopters UK, commented: “This strategic partnering agreement enables Leonardo and Morson Projects to not only strengthen relations between the two companies, but it also secures engineering work and supply chain resilience across the UK.
