I visited Safran Helecopter Engines, a company that designs and builds helicopter engines, to learn about the processes involved in manufacturing.
Safran Helicopter Engines, based in Fareham, employs around 165 people including a number of apprentices. In 2015, the company has produced and delivered 718 new engines, repaired around 1700 engines and has more than 2,500 customers in 155 countries.
I saw a fast growing and innovating business, which is great news for the area, as it is creating jobs right in the heart of Fareham.
Manufacturing is thriving in the constituency and Safran is an example of this, a locally based company which is a world leader in helicopter engines.
