The project forms part of a wider McLaughlin & Harvey programme to deliver new facilities for manufacturing services as well as engineering, technology & safety (ET&S), as part of Rolls-Royce's £140m investment at its Derby site.
Douglas McCusker, construction director at McLaughlin & Harvey said: “We’re supporting Rolls-Royce in delivering a facility that will future-proof its UK manufacturing capabilities. This project builds on our longstanding partnership with Rolls-Royce, having completed two advanced manufacturing projects for them and recently being appointed for their £100m project in Bristol.”
Home to the company’s civil aerospace operations, Rolls-Royce’s Derby site will see new facilities to support future growth, improve the working environment for employees, and strengthen the UK’s aerospace and defence capability.
Tufan Erginbilgic, CEO of Rolls-Royce, said: “Our manufacturing facilities in the UK are home to the very best of British engineering talent. Rolls-Royce is committed to growing the UK’s advanced manufacturing sector and we are proud to be building infrastructure needed to power Britain’s future.
“World-class facilities across the UK will ensure that Rolls-Royce remains a global leader in both commercial aviation and sovereign defence, while supporting thousands of highly skilled jobs both directly and through our supply chain."
