Alex Baker, MP for Aldershot and Farnborough, visited one of the region’s leading aerospace manufacturers.

Sigma is a member of Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC), which organised the visit.

The company makes pipe and tube assemblies, ducts, manifolds, fabrications ad sub-assemblies, sheet and machined details, and specialist fasteners. It supplies products and services to the civil and military aerospace sectors, including to global companies.

Alex Baker said:

“I was delighted to be invited to visit Sigma by the Farnborough Aerospace Consortium and to have the opportunity to find out more about one of the many incredible and highly technical industries based in Farnborough."

Alex Baker MP with a Sigma engineer commented:

“It was a fascinating visit and another example of not only great careers on our doorstep but also a local business making a global impact."

“Boosting economic growth is at the heart of this government’s mission for the country, and we are committed to supporting businesses such as Sigma.”

Richard Bower, Sigma CEO, said:

“We were delighted to host Alex Baker MP at our Farnborough facility to demonstrate how the local area supports a global aerospace supply chain. It’s always good to raise awareness of what we are capable of and we look forward to hearing what can be done to foster further growth in the area.”

Alan Fisher, CEO of FAC, said:

“Sigma are long-standing members of ours and Alex Baker was extremely supportive. She has a background in the private sector and showed an understanding of what businesses want and require. Sigma gave her a presentation and then a tour of the facility.”
