Field International praise the Dorset LEP

POOLE, U.K. - Oct. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Field International Limited, a Poole based company specialising in advanced engineering in the aerospace sector has been supported by the Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) through the provision of an “imaginative and innovative” funding arrangement.

Speaking at the LEP conference, Global Business Development Director of Field International, Richard Marples, expressed the gratitude to the LEP for their support in difficult times for this export-led business.

Richard commented “We need to spend heavily on research and development for our very demanding clients in the aerospace sector.  Our contracts tend to be complex and run over a long period of time, and with significant front-loaded costs incurred, we have been under considerable pressure.  The LEP funding has given us some breathing space and helped to stabilise the business in what has been a major downturn in demand across the entire sector.  For that we are most grateful.”

Field International are a leading manufacturing company in Dorset with customers such as BAE Systems, Boeing and Airbus and are looking forward to a bright future as the recovery picks up speed.

Notes:

Field International, a family owned company within Dorset with facilities in both Europe and Asia, are one of the world leaders in the design and manufacture of aircraft maintenance tooling, ground support equipment, defence components and bespoke precision engineering.
