It was fascinating to be shown around Aerotron Composites. Celebrating 50 years, Aerotron has grown into a global group of companies which is focussed on delivering the best for its customers. Aerotron Composites was established in Chatteris in 2019 and has gone from strength to strength. The team produces, designs, develops, engineers, manufactures and repairs complex composite components.
Works are underway on new, bespoke state-of-the-art facilities for composite maintenance repair and later this year ground will be broken on a 100,000 sqft warehouse and production buildings on the campus in Chatteris. There are some fabulous apprenticeship programme opportunities bringing skills to young people across the region.
This is a real success story within the constituency, more than doubling the number of staff over the Covid period and proving to be one of the leading companies in the aerospace and defence industries. Many thanks to director Andrew Leslie and the team who showed me around.
