Defence firm Leonardo has gathered manufacturing firms near its Somerset base to discuss initiatives to benefit local communities still recovering from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The helicopter manufacturer hosted more than 25 companies spanning UK aerospace and engineering at the new £10m iAero aerospace collaboration centre, located next to the firm’s site in Yeovil.
The company said it spoke with firms within its UK supply chain about opportunities and areas of potential collaboration presented to UK businesses to add social value to its operations.
