Somerset has a significant advanced manufacturing and engineering sector which accounts for 6.3% of total economic output - more than double the national UK average.

HIGH VALUE MANUFACTURUNG AND ENGINEERING

Our manufacturing credentials range from engineering, food and beverage production to the very latest advances in avionics and electronics. Global names and brands including Leonardo, Numatic, Honeywell and Thales have all invested in Somerset, creating thousands of jobs across the county, making products as diverse as the iconic Henry vacuums to the world’s most advanced military helicopters.

 

Many of our Companies have won large contracts supporting the construction of two new nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point C, which has also seen several overseas investors partnering with local businesses to service this project.

Somerset has the sites, skills and supply-chains that manufacturers will need in the future.
