Eurofighter Typhoon LAUNCH BAE TAKE-OFF
Defence giant BAE Systems’ sales hit £28.3bn last year as countries across the world ramped up their military spending amid heightening global tensions.
The business, which employs almost 12,000 people at its military aircraft plants in Warton and Samlesbury, also saw underlying earnings before tax and interest rise by 14 per cent to more than £3bn.
The group reported growth across all its divisions including the Air sector, according to its full year results.
They show that BAE’s order backlog at December 31, 2024, stood at £77.8bn, an £8bn rise on the previous year.
“Based on the exceptional visibility of our record order backlog and sustainability of our business model, we remain confident in the positive momentum of our business into the future.”
BAE says its Air sector workforce in Lancashire is providing “vital frontline combat air capabilities to UK and international customers, making an important contribution to safeguarding national defence and security.”
A spokesperson said: “This includes providing around-the-clock support to the Royal Air Force Typhoon fleet, as well as leading the UK’s industrial contribution to GCAP to deliver a next generation combat aircraft.”

It also delivered four further Typhoons to Qatar and welcomed additional Typhoon orders for 25 aircraft from Spain and up to 24 from Italy, major units for which will be manufactured at its facility in Samlesbury.
The company began flight trials on the new Typhoon radar, ECRS Mk2, for the Royal Air Force from its flight-testing facility in Warton.
During the year BAE recruited almost 1,000 experienced professionals and almost 600 graduates and apprentices, with plans to hire thousands more in 2025.

A well-crafted website should capture your brand, engage visitors, and support your business goals.
So, here’s why a one-size-fits-all approach won’t cut it.
1. One size doesn’t fit all
Your business is unique – your website should be too.
A bespoke site is built around your brand, ensuring it looks, feels, and functions exactly how you need it to.
From custom layouts to tailored features, bespoke websites work for you, not the other way around.
2. Growth shouldn’t mean starting over
Just like your business, your website needs to adapt.
With bespoke development, your website isn’t a ‘one and done’ deal – it’s a flexible tool that scales with your needs.
Adding features, tweaking layouts, or upgrading functionality? Simple, because your website is built with growth in mind.
3. A website should work for you, not against you
While cookie-cutter template websites may have their place, they come with significant drawbacks.
From inflexibility and slower load times to lower Google rankings and a diluted brand identity, templates often end up costing more than they save.
At Root Fifty-Two, we create websites that truly reflect your business and suit you. Get in touch with us today to get started.
