Middlesex Aerospace

What’s it like for a someone starting out as an engineer? Who better to ask than some of our apprentices here at Middlesex Aerospace. We put a few questions to them for you to read and discover how they are finding the first steps towards an exciting career as an engineer in the aerospace sector. See what they said here https://lnkd.in/e-yPUZXK #TEWeek24 #aerospace #apprentices

Tomorrow’s Engineers Week started on Monday 11th November. Over five days students can learn about how engineering can be a rewarding career that uses their creative and analytic skills to make a positive impact on communities and society as whole. Since 1950, we have been finding talented students and helping them become highly experienced engineers. It is their drive and resourcefulness that has ensure some of the most iconic aircraft of the last 70 years became a reality. It is this track record combined with our partnership with BCoT which makes us delighted to support Tomorrow’s Engineers Week.

We were delighted to welcome Mr. Katsu Matsuura to Middlesex Aerospace this week. It was a pleasure to show Mr. Matsuura around our facilities and see our investment in the advanced technology produced by his company in action. His visit also provided a welcome opportunity to discuss advancements in the aerospace sector and our future plans to grow as a high value partner with Tier-1 companies. #aerospacemanufacturing #Aerospace #Innovation

In 2022 we were asked to help support Winklebury Wizards, a local junior football team. The time and effort put in by so many volunteers to help young people develop their fitness and find new friends really impressed us. And so we pledged to sponsor their U-10 side. Since then the team has gone on to enjoy some memorable success, including winning their league – which is a terrific result for them. So, when it came to deciding whether to continue our support, it really was not a difficult decision to make. We are very proud to once again support a local community group help children stay fit and healthy and develop vital social skills and friendships. Go, Wizards! #grassrootsfootball #supportlocal #teamwork

As we celebrate National Manufacturing Day we look forward to the next 50 years in Basingstoke!

Today is a very special National Manufacturing Day in Basingstoke. This year the event will also mark the 50th Anniversary of the creation of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. It seems quite incredible to think we also moved to the town in 1974. Since relocating to Basingstoke we have enjoyed immense success, supported by the many talented local people who have worked here. It is their drive and ingenuity that has played such a vital role in placing us at the pinnacle of precision engineering. From adopting new ideas to reach unimaginable standards in quality, to coming up with great ways to reduce our impact on the environment, so many of the great successes we have enjoyed have been down to the local people who choose to work here. We have also been able to play a part in shaping the careers of many apprentices in the vicinity. In 2018 we achieved 1,000 apprentices trained in our facilities, many of whom were from the Basingstoke area. It’s a record we aim to continue as we look for the next generation of engineers in local schools to come and work with us while they learn at BCoT. So, congratulations to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council on reaching 50 years. We appreciate your continued support to manufacturing companies in the town and look forward to working with you to make Basingstoke a great, sustainable place to work. #MFGDay24 #aerospacemanufacturing #basingstoke

In the last few weeks, we have been invited to two local schools to present about careers in engineering and help with advice. It was a pleasure to be invited to be asked to speak with pupils at the two schools, and we hope they were encouraged by our presentations to look further into the exciting world of precision engineering. At Middlesex Aerospace we continue to be committed to helping students learn about work and their career choices in precision engineering. From Q & A sessions to mock interviews find out more about our visits here https://lnkd.in/gkK_sPEG #aerospacemanufacturing #apprenticeships #teamwork #precisionengineering

That's another Air Show over at Farnborough. It's been a superb event, with many great meetings. Thursday was just fantastic at the Aviator Hotel too, there is no better way to see so many of our valued partners and spend time with them. Here's to the next Paris Air Show coming soon!

Congratulations to Jessica Payne on receiving her HNC in Mechanical Engineering from Portsmouth University. A superb achievement from our AP Quality Engineer and a talented member of the team. Well done, Jessica! #engineering #aerospace

Just a few days now until Farnborough Air Show 2024 begins! We're excited to attend and look forward to connecting with those we've worked with and those we may collaborate with in the future. If you'll be there, let us know – we'd love to meet up. See you at the show! #FIA2024 #aerospacemanufacturing
