THE SKY IS THE LIMIT FOR GMI
Levelling up, up and away in the furthest corners of the UK.
Delivering best-in-class developmental space for innovation, aerospace engineering and pioneering defence technology. The new Leonardo hub will help the world-leading aerospace organisation to support the UK Ministry of Deference and Security Networks.
The all-purpose #BuiltbyGMI high-tech space has already seen the new $1 billion project to deliver aircraft on behalf of the Canadian Department of National Defence, which will be one of the first projects to be delivered from the facility.
The 210,000 sq ft project in Yeovil, Somerset, has seen the consolidation of eight existing warehouses into one all-encompassing logistics hub and will support Leonardo’s global fleet of helicopters through the storage of components and tooling.
