THE North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) has signed up 12 new members to take its numbers to more than 360.
The additional members include companies from Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire and Cumbria.
A number of companies have also signed up from areas farther afield, including Staffordshire, Essex and Northumberland, to swell the NWAA’s ranks to 360.
The NWAA is one of the leading cluster organisations for the aerospace sector in the UK and Europe. The North West sector contributes more than £6bn to the UK economy, it claims.
Lisa Hodgson, membership liaison manager, said: “This has clearly been a mixed year for the aerospace sector, but those companies in the supply chain remain keen to keep the region healthy.”
