Ensuring Barrow can maintain pride of place as the only town in the UK with the unique infrastructure and skills required to design and build complex nuclear-powered submarines is fundamental to our national security and the area’s prosperity.
For BAE Systems, this means continuing to grow its workforce in Barrow, to meet the long-term demands of delivering the Astute, Dreadnought and SSN-AUKUS submarine programmes for the Royal Navy over the coming decades.
This is what underpins the work of Team Barrow and with thousands more highly-skilled people needed to increase BAE Systems’ 14,500-strong workforce, it presents a generational opportunity to help revitalise our town and our communities.
And as Barrow’s dominant employer, it continues to support the wider regeneration of the town, using its skills, experience and resources to help create an inclusive and thriving community.
