Airbus Broughton has welcomed its latest intake of early careers talent, with 234 new recruits joining the aerospace manufacturing giant.

The group includes 138 apprentices, 31 graduates, and 65 interns, all of whom will play a vital role in shaping the future of aerospace innovation in the UK and Wales.

With the aerospace industry undergoing rapid changes, Airbus is committed to nurturing the next generation of engineers, technicians, and business leaders.

The new recruits will benefit from world-class training and development, gaining hands-on experience on live projects that are critical to the future of aerospace.

Gareth Davies, Head of the Broughton Plant and Site, and a former apprentice himself, commented on the significance of this intake: “It’s always a special moment to see fresh faces joining us here at Broughton. Having started my own journey as an apprentice, I know how valuable these opportunities are. By investing in these young professionals, we’re not just shaping the future of Airbus; we’re also supporting the future of the aerospace industry in the UK and Wales. It’s all about keeping innovation and manufacturing excellence at the heart of what we do.”

The new recruits will be working across various departments, contributing to projects that range from the assembly of wings for all Airbus commercial aircraft to the development of advanced manufacturing processes and supporting our Wing of Tomorrow Programme.

With Airbus being a key player in the aerospace sector, the experience gained here will equip these young professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their careers and support the wider industry.

Airbus said it “remains committed to fostering an inclusive and dynamic working environment that encourages growth, innovation, and collaboration.”
