Aerospace Consulting designed and led the Growth Accelerator Project, bringing together a team from Industry, Academia, and Government to identify future growth opportunities for Lancashire’s Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing Sectors. The Growth Accelerator was strengthened by direct engagement from major primes and Tier 1s, including: BAE Systems, DAF Leyland Trucks, Safran Nacelles, and Westinghouse Nuclear. These companies provided advisory input and validation, ensuring the programme reflected real customer needs and global market expectations. Their involvement gave SMEs confidence that the growth strategies were credible and competitive in the eyes of leading customers.
The Growth Accelerator Project explored the Global Megatrends (such as Sustainability, Digital Transformation, Political Instability, Inflation, and the Talent Challenge) to understand their impacts on manufacturing sectors. The team also identified key project themes that could add significantly to the competitiveness and growth of Lancashire’s Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing Sector.
The Result: A coordinated, industry-backed strategy that has contributed to Lancashire’s Growth Plan. The Growth Accelerator Project showcased the depth of consultancy support required to bring together government, academia, regional trade associations, local suppliers, unions, and global primes to deliver a clear shared vision for the growth of an industry sector.
