Emma is Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Aerospace.

Speaking after the reception, Emma Reynolds said:

“Aerospace is a hugely important industry to both Wolverhampton and the UK and I am delighted that the industry is building for its future by taking on so many highly talented and skilled apprentices.

At a time when it is particularly difficult for young people to find a job, aerospace is one industry which is still taking people on nationally and continues to recruit in Wolverhampton.

I was delighted to meet Andrew and Chris and fascinated to hear about the apprenticeships they are undertaking and their exciting plans for the future.”
