The company in the UK is approaching 2,000 employees at a number of sites across the United Kingdom including London, Bristol, Fleet, Frimley, Farnborough, Gosport, Yeovil, and Manchester.

Boeing UK’s footprint has continued to grow through programs such as the 787 Dreamliner, services to commercial aircraft operators, the Chinook Through Life Customer Support (TLCS) programme, The Boeing Portal and the Support Chain Information Services (SCIS) delivery partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence, formerly known as LogNEC.

Boeing anticipate growing the program with the addition of further Blue Light partners in the future.

The Boeing Company’s relationship with the United Kingdom and British industry dates back more than 75 years. Early activity included working with the Bristol Aeroplane Company to provide engines to Douglas DC-2B variant aircraft, the sale of legacy company North American’s Harvard training aircraft to the Ministry of War and Pan-American’s Boeing 314 sea plane services between New York City and Southampton in the mid-1930s.
