Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown visits Resouce Group Aviation Technical Training Centre at the Cotswold Airport near Kemble. Here, they provide some of the best aviation training in the world. In particular, they have excellent apprenticeship scheme, where 228 apprentices have successfully passed through the organisation between 2010-17 – a 94% success rate – and a further 314 are training in partnership with BAe at Humberside Airport.

The site at Kemble includes superb workshops and equipment together with functioning aircraft and helicopters. The business injects around £2.65m into the local economy. This is yet another example of a successful Cotswold business and it was extremely gratifying to be able to witness first-hand the superb training the apprentices from around the UK receive. When fully trained they go on to work for a range of airlines around the world.
