Nick Sanders, CEO at CompAir, said: "Sir Digby visited us to see for himself the progress being made by engineers in the workplace".
"He often notes in his speeches that the British are renowned for their skills in producing innovative design and engineering, and no more so than here at CompAir".
"While visiting, he met a lot of the staff on the factory floor, as well as the designers and those involved in the spares and aftermarket department".
"He was also interested in our plans to reintroduce an apprentice scheme, which would see a return to a true focus on manufacture and engineering".
