Global aerospace company BAE Systems has opened a new engineering base in Coventry. The company has opened a digital engineering hub at Ansty Park to support UK submarine building.

The move has brought 150 jobs to the local area. The site will recruit and train a range of engineering expertise from the surrounding area to help deliver the Astute, Dreadnought, and SSN-AUKUS-Class submarines.

Managing Director of BAE Systems Submarines, Steve Timms, says the opening of the new Coventry office marks an 'exciting new chapter in BAE Systems' engineering journey.
