Portsmouth South MP Flick Drummond has met up with two locally-based BAE Systems apprentices at a Westminster reception to promote high technology jobs for young people.
Flick chatted with Ellie Hamilton and Amelia Jotham from the company during the ADS Group reception attended by more than 70 apprentices from some of Britain’s leading aerospace, defence, security and space companies.
“I am a passionate advocate for high-tech jobs and opportunities in my constituency, so I was delighted to meet Amelia and Ellie and talk to them about their careers in Portsmouth,” She said.
“It’s vital for this country that we continue to train young people to have the skills to develop the future cutting edge engineering that will allow UK Plc to compete in the world.
“There is no doubt that apprentices, like Ellie and Amelia, are making an important contribution to high-skill manufacturing industries and the world-leading technologies.”
