With an annual output of £30.5 billion, the UK's booming aerospace sector employs more than 104,000 people and is at the cutting edge of transport innovation which has been showcased at this week's fantastic Farnborough International Airshow.
It is sometimes easy to focus on the multinationals when discussing the sector’s importance to the UK but the huge contribution of the thousands of SMEs that are the backbone of the sector cannot, and should not, be underestimated. One such company is AML Sheffield.
Originally a spin-out from the award-winning AMRC, the 100-strong AML Sheffield has just won the coveted King’s Award for Enterprise Innovation, which celebrates “leaders in their field who adopt exemplary working practices and inspire other businesses."
The award is in recognition of AML Sheffield’s ability to apply technologies and lean processes more often seen in the automotive sector to unlock a staggering two-fold productivity increase in the aerospace sector: enabling a leading UK jet engine manufacturer to expand into the lucrative business aircraft market which is expected to grow to $36.4bn by 2030.
