In this episode of the North West Aerospace Alliance News, Daniel and Emma discuss Delkia's exciting expansion with a new Power and Propulsion Centre of Excellence in Haydock, St Helens. The facility, set to open in May, will cover 16,000 square feet and specialise in large-scale production, testing, and assembly of power and propulsion systems for the defence sector. The new centre will create around 20 jobs in roles such as production engineers, workshop technicians, project managers, and business administrators. Located near the M6, the facility will support complex projects for maritime and nuclear sectors and significantly increase Delkia's production capacity. Programme Director Steve Postlethwaite is overseeing the logistics, using 3D scans for virtual walkthroughs and detailed floorplans. This expansion marks a significant milestone for Delkia's growth and regional footprint, adding to their existing operations in Whitehaven, Egremont, and Preston.
