Farnborough Air show 2022
It’s been four years since the last air show at Farnborough. Prof Andrew Schofield and Paula Gill enjoyed meeting North West businesses, UK based primes and organisations from right across the aerospace, aviation, space and defence industries. The business gathered from all over the globe to forge new partnerships, negotiate deals, discuss new contracts, reconnect with old acquaintances and to learn about the new technology developments being showcased. Despite soaring temperatures, every hall was packed with businesses of all sizes and bustling with activity. Throughout the Air Show, there were a large number of great events, initiatives and announcements that involved companies from across the country, highlighting new programmes of support for businesses in the UK including new plans and opportunities in NATEP, DTEP and SC22/23. Paula Gill attended the launch of the AGP Supply Chain Solutions Framework. The enhanced supply chain programme led by AGP will see collaboration of the UK Regional Trade Associations (including North West Aerospace Alliance) and ADS to support business improvement for SME members across the regional and UK supply chain. One of our favourite moments during the week was a gathering of the five UK regional alliances who work closely with our national and the global aerospace community and supporting partners to address future supply chain solutions, international trade, sustainability and future initiatives to drive aerospace forward.
