ADS lines up against Brexit

Several members of aerospace trade organisation the ADS Group – including Airbus, BAE Systems, Bombardier, GKN, MBDA and Rolls-Royce – have told their employees why they believe remaining in the EU is best for their business.

Reasons included “maintaining UK access to EU customers and suppliers free of tariffs and red tape; exerting UK influence over the standards and regulations that shape our industries, and securing investment in UK R&D, skills and supply chains.”

In a recent survey, 70% of ADS members said that remaining in the EU was better for their business

Paul Everitt, CEO of the ADS Group, said: “In the days that remain, we hope that all businesses in the UK encourage their employees to vote and allow them the time do so. We would also urge them to speak to their staff on how the UK’s membership of the EU benefits their business and their employees.

“Regardless of their vote, we want all voters to be informed on how this important national decision will impact local businesses and jobs.”
