It was a pleasure to meet with Tom Grundy (CEO) and Rebecca Zeitlin (media and communications manager) of Hybrid Air Vehicles. They are Bedford based business seeking Government support to establish a manufacturing base here in the UK.

Such a manufacturing base would create 400 direct skilled jobs and an estimated 1600 jobs in the wider supply chain. I offered my full support in pressing the Government to help Hybrid Air Vehicles in regards to funding a base for manufacturing.
