And there are plenty more, all quoting a James Needham who seems to hold various positions within the company quoting various amount of investment. Good news if it actually happens...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -

The Boeing announcement from 2017 described a £20 million 2,300 square metre facility providing 30 new jobs.
https://www.boeing.co.uk/news-media-...nvestment.pageThe new facility, the result of a Boeing investment of more than £20 million, is part of a broader plan by Boeing to begin in-house manufacturing of key actuation components and systems in the U.S. and the U.K. to enhance production efficiency and reduce cost in its supply chain.
Boeing’s new U.K. facility, to be named Boeing Sheffield, will produce actuators in Boeing’s first manufacturing facility in Europe, supporting global growth and competitiveness for the world’s largest aerospace company and enabling access to U.K. talent and capability. Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ (BCA) facility in Portland, Oregon, U.S., will also produce actuators and assemble actuation systems for these models as a new work statement.
“The U.K. provides Boeing with the talent and infrastructure we need to grow and maintain a high level of productivity and quality to meet our significant order book,” said Sir Michael Arthur, president of Boeing Europe and managing director of Boeing U.K. and Ireland. “We are proud to expand our relationship with the U.K. still further with Boeing Sheffield. Our decision to start manufacturing high-value components in the U.K. is a step-change in our engagement and a further example of Boeing’s commitment to grow here, supporting the U.K.’s long-term prosperity.”
Boeing Sheffield will employ approximately 30 people when it opens as part of BCA’s Fabrication operations and will work closely with Boeing Portland, a company Center of Excellence for complex machining, gear systems and flight controls. The establishment of Boeing Sheffield will also open up new opportunities for U.K. suppliers to bid for work.
Subject to local authority and other relevant planning permissions, the proposed 2,300-square-metre (25,000 square feet) Boeing Sheffield facility will be built alongside The University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing (AMRC), a world-class machining and materials research campus founded in 2001 by Boeing and the University of Sheffield.
This new investment will be twice as big, more than compensating for the 14,000 Airbus jobs at risk. As the patriotic Express states, Project Fear is now DISMANTLED.

It is somewhat reminiscent of the passage from Berlin: The Downfall: 1945.
The loyal Grand Admiral Dönitz signalled that in answer to Hitler's appeal, he was sending all available sailors to help in the fight for Germany's fate in Berlin. The plan to deliver them by crash-landing Junkers 52s in the centre of the city showed as little regard for reality as it did for the lives of his sailors.Comment

wow a 80x80 meters facility (even less), is this going to be a garden shed?Comment

To be fair, it sounds like a small number of good quality jobs in Sheffield. Good news. But insignificant compared to the number of Airbus jobs.Originally posted by Eirikur View Post
