Following the Independent Report to inform the UK National Shipbuilding Strategy by Sir John Parker GBE FREng, Paul Everitt, ADS Group CEO, comments:
“Sir John Parker’s recommendations are an important contribution to transforming the UK’s recognised excellence in naval shipbuilding. It is already a focus of high-skill, high value employment and with a firm programme of work it can play a greater role in supporting UK growth and prosperity, as well as making an essential contribution to our national security.
“The UK has a well-deserved international reputation for expertise in naval shipbuilding; the joint approach and making sure export opportunities are factored into national shipbuilding decisions will provide UK companies with more market opportunities and underpin long-term investment in skills, technology and innovation.”
