Rolls Royce announced it is investing in new plant at its\u00a0Barnoldswick facility\u00a0in East Lancashire to make engine fan blades for the Joint Strike Fighter.\u00a0 The total investment in product development\u00a0across the UK\u00a0by\u00a0RR and the\u00a0government\u00a0is valued at \u00a3300m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier in the year the Barnoldswick plant was subject to job losses so this is a boost in the area. Overall it adds to the north-wests part in the aircraft and defence manufacturing industry and this has both an upside and a downside.\u00a0 The upside being the\u00a0jobs are\u00a0generally highly skilled and quite well paid but the downside being subject to the fluctuations of one sector. Particularly the F35 which will have a large airframe facility at BAE SYSTEMS Samlesbury. Good news for jobs in the next few years anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
