Boeing has published new research showing that they are experiencing significant growth in both direct and supply chain employment in the UK. Boeing employs more than 2000 people in the UK, which is twice the amount the company employed in 2011. The UK is Boeing’s chief European supply source, and the company is continuing to open new facilities in Frimley, Surrey and Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. President of Boeing UK & Ireland, Sir Michael Arthur, said: “The whole Boeing team is committed to the UK, our customers and our partners for the long-term.”
