Filton and Bradley Stoke MP Claire Hazelgrove has been appointed vice-patron of Aerospace Bristol.
She joins Sir George White – the great grandson of the founder of the Bristol Aeroplane Company – in supporting the museum’s mission to preserve Bristol’s aerospace heritage and inspire the next generation of aviation professionals.
Each year, more than 13,000 learners take part in the museum’s education programme, and in the last year alone Aerospace Bristol delivered 347 curriculum-linked workshops.
Ms Hazelgrove said: “Aerospace Bristol is a fantastic asset for our community.
“As vice-patron, I’m proud to support the museum’s work with schools and young people, strengthening the links between education and industry and ensuring more students discover the opportunities and develop the skills needed for future careers in engineering, technology and advanced manufacturing.”
