Starmer meets aerospace leaders as PM announces new Skills England public body

Sir Keir Starmer met with senior officers of the Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC) at the Farnborough International Airshow, where they discussed the industry’s pressing need for skilled workers.

This meeting coincided with the Prime Minister’s announcement of Skills England, a new public body aimed at tackling the nation’s skills shortage.

Graham Chisnall, chairman of FAC, and Alan Fisher, CEO, spoke with Starmer about the challenges their member companies face. They expressed their satisfaction with the PM’s announcement, highlighting the importance of a coordinated approach to skills development involving central and local government, businesses, training providers, and unions.

Graham Chisnall stated, “We had previously urged the new government to focus on innovation and skills. So we were pleased to hear of the emphasis they are placing on skills with the launch of a new public body. Our members in the aerospace, aviation, defence, and space sectors – as well as their supply chains – are often frustrated by the lack of workers with the right skills. The teaching of STEM subjects and proper training is crucial in ensuring that the UK remains a world leader in aerospace and related areas.”

FAC represents a broad spectrum of businesses, from multi-nationals to SMEs, which are vital to the economy and poised to drive growth. The Prime Minister’s visit to the airshow underscored his recognition of the importance of these sectors.

“Billions of pounds worth of business will be conducted this week,” Chisnall added, “and we are working with our members to ensure they benefit as much as possible.”

Alan Fisher noted, “FAC’s objectives include lobbying the government on behalf of our members and introducing them to multinational global players. Farnborough International Airshow provides us with an opportunity to do just that, and there is a really positive atmosphere this year.”

The launch of Skills England aims to bridge the skills gap in the UK, ensuring that industries like aerospace have access to the talent they need to thrive and continue contributing significantly to the economy.
