The nuclear weapons technology delivered at @AWE_plc keeps this country safe every minute of the day. It was a privilege to meet many of the staff and apprentices working there yesterday.
The work they do doesn’t just protect us, it's an engine for growth across the UK.
A new report has shown the Defence nuclear industry delivers diverse career paths, great job security and higher than average pay.
@JohnHealey_MP visited @AWE_plc for a rare behind the scenes visit as they celebrate their 75th anniversary.

We’re two days away from the Defence Nuclear Enterprise 24-hour row⏰.
Taking place across the UK at a range of locations, teams are embracing a one team ethos, something key to the DNE mission: “deliver nuclear capabilities, deter the threat, protect the nation.”

Defence makes Britain secure at home and strong abroad, and our AUKUS partnership can create highly skilled, good jobs across Yorkshire and the UK.
It was a privilege to welcome Australian Deputy Prime Minister @RichardMarlesMP to my home patch.
And even had time for a pint!
