Boeing opened in Sheffield

Boeing, the world’s largest plane maker, has opened its first European manufacturing site here in Sheffield. This lays testament to Sheffield’s capabilities. And firmly confirms it’s place as part of the Norther Powerhouse Strategy.

Of course everyone has heard of Boeing. Who hasn’t? But just in case you didn’t know. Boeing is a company that make components for 737 and 767 passenger jets. This will now be happening in Sheffield!! Home of the new UK operation site. They aren’t stopping there either.

There are already plans to produce thousands of parts each month which will be shipped to the US for assembly.

New facility creates jobs

As if Boeing coming to Sheffield was not amazing enough for this fabulous city. Of course, when such a big company opens it’s doors, it is bound to lead to new jobs.

Boeing said the Sheffield factory has created 52 new jobs. These include experienced mechanics, engineers and over 20 apprentices. This is just what Sheffield needs. The more jobs available, the more people will potentially move to the area and this will lead to more properties being needed.

It is said that Boeing have invested more than £40m in the facility. They are expanding and this expansion is leading to partnerships.

Boeing have said they are partnering with 13 UK-based suppliers for its expansion. These include: Aeromet International, Maher, and Liberty Speciality Steels.
