Rachel Kay, Business connector, expo organiser, trainer and speaker:
An excellent week of events, expertly broadcast by BigTank and fantastic work from LBV and Richard Slater as always. Love the mix of panellists, the searching questions and informed answers. I’m looking forward to catching up on the ones I missed.
Euan Aitken, sales and marketing director at Zigaflow:
The week’s panels have been run really well, great work all, and well done mobilising the online event for the final day at such short notice.
KEEP FLYING HIGH
Chris Boardman, BAE Systems group managing director Air, told the conference the future Tempest air combat platform would have a massive impact in Lancashire.
Describing it as “the next evolution of combat air power” he said work on the programme was already underway and it was at the “concept definition” phase.
Chris told the conference it would help deliver the next generation of skills in the county and was set to be a massive overseas earner for the UK.
He said: “We have the ‘factory of the future’ here, and we are working
in partnership with SMEs and the academic world around Lancashire. It is also going to be a 5G factory as we show this is the way to do business in the future.”
Chris said that BAE Systems’ Samlesbury plant, which has had £100m invested in it in recent years, was home to probably the most advanced manufacturing machinery in the western world, but it was “already obsolete”.
He said that in future parts would not be machined, they would be grown, and he added: “We are already doing that, we need to move forward and do it at scale.”
And he also revealed BAE Systems’ “networking role” as part of the team that secured Samlesbury as the headquarters of the new National Cyber Force.
