We’re proud to call Aldershot the Home of the British Army, with 5,000 serving personnel and home to Standing Joint Command, the national headquarters for homeland defence. As threats grow around the world, Aldershot’s role in our national defence will only become more significant.
Armed Forces Day showed that our military story is not just part of our history; it remains central to who we are today and to our future. Now I want to build on that legacy.
That is why I am asking Government to build a new Army Foundation College in Aldershot, creating even more opportunities for our young people and strengthening the vital bond between the Armed Forces and our town. 🇬🇧 ... See MoreSee Less

Spades are in the ground for Farnborough’s new leisure centre! 🏊♀️🏗️
I promised local families we would get this built after they had been left for years without the modern leisure facilities they need. I secured £20 million from Government and worked with Rushmoor Borough Council to turn that commitment into a viable plan.
Now construction is underway, with the new centre due to open next year.
Promise made. Promise being delivered. ✅ ... See MoreSee Less

New skills and opportunities for our young people 🥼⚙️📚
The Government has announced that, from age 14, young people will be able to combine core subjects with technical education, work experience and links to local employers.
It is great to see that progress on skills already taking place here in Farnborough. ADS is working with the Government and Farnborough College of Technology to launch a new industry-led, industry-created curriculum for careers in aerospace, defence, security and space next year.
Farnborough has always pioneered the future of these industries. Now our town will help lead the way in developing the skills and talent needed for the jobs of tomorrow. ✈️🇬🇧

What a week for Farnborough ✈️
Looking back on last week’s Farnborough International Airshow, it was brilliant to see companies from across the world coming here to do business and discover the innovation being led by British firms, including local companies like QinetiQ.
But above all, seeing so many local families pouring in to enjoy the flying displays and experience the defence, aerospace and security innovation taking place in our town, and across the country, was truly special.
For our young people in particular, the chance to meet the people behind the technology and learn about the careers available to them in the future is so important.
Farnborough has an international reputation for a reason, and our town will play an even bigger role in Britain’s security, growth and skilled jobs in the years ahead. 🇬🇧 ... See MoreSee Less

🚨 £20 million investment in Farnborough’s Cody Technology Park 🚨
Great to see QinetiQ announce Project HELENA at Farnborough International Airshow, expanding cutting-edge laser defence technology at Cody Technology Park.
This investment will support high-skilled local jobs, create new opportunities and strengthen Farnborough’s defence and aerospace sector.
I will always back investment that brings good jobs and opportunities to our community.
Farnborough’s story is about more than our proud aviation heritage. It is about the future of defence and national security we are building here too. ⚙️🪖🇬🇧

It was great to welcome Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds to Farnborough International Airshow to discuss how we can keep championing the incredible businesses and innovation we have here in Farnborough, backing British industry at home and on the world stage.
Showing him around as people from across the globe come to Farnborough to do business was a reminder of just how important our town is and of the even bigger role places like ours can play in Britain's industrial future.
It was also fantastic to see the Business Secretary announce at the Airshow a £600 million package for UK aerospace, including over £500 million through the Aerospace Technology Institute Programme. This is exactly the kind of investment that will support skilled jobs, strengthen our security and create more opportunities for the future. ✈️🇬🇧
