Encouraging Aerospace sector performance in a tough year:

A|D|S, the UK’s AeroSpace, Defence and Security trade organisation has published the findings of its 2010 aerospace industry survey. The report examines the performance of the UK-based sector covering both civil and defence aerospace during 2009. The results provide a definitive picture of the overall UK-based aerospace sector and are used by Government and analysts alike.

Ian Godden, Chairman of A|D|S, said:

“Last year was tough for the whole aerospace industry given the wider context of the global downturn but these results demonstrate the resilience of the UK-based part of the sector. Overall this is an extraordinary performance during a world-wide recession with an increase in revenues, a rise in productivity and stability within our 100,000-strong highly-skilled workforce.”
