Rolls-Royce Submarines has officially broken ground and started foundational work on a new manufacturing facility, as part of plans to double the size of our Raynesway site in Derby. This wider expansion activity will help meet the increased demand from the UK and Australian Royal Navies to boost our manufacturing output for current and future submarine programmes. It will see over 100,000m2 of new manufacturing and office facilities being built and create 1,170 skilled roles across a range of disciplines, including manufacturing and engineering. The ceremonial event saw the Lord Coaker, Minister of State for Defence, Abi Clayton, President - Rolls-Royce Submarines and Commodore Alistair Moody, Director for Nuclear Propulsion at the Submarine Delivery Group, dig the first ground together. This joint action not only reflects the strength of this partnership but also the significance of the entire expansion programme. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ed9aTFWk Defence Nuclear Enterprise #AUKUS
