Glasgow Prestwick Welcomes Enterprise Area Status
Glasgow Prestwick has welcomed the creation of four enterprise areas in Scotland, one of which is to be centred at the airport.
The new areas are to be created with an emphasis on some of our most dynamic industries with the greatest potential to create new employment opportunities, stimulate private investment and boost economic growth.
The sectors are life sciences, low carbon and renewable energy, with the fourth covering manufacturing and growth sector opportunities including aerospace at Prestwick International.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport’s Chief Executive Iain Cochrane said: “We’re delighted to be part of this important Scotland-wide initiative, as aerospace is one of the UK's highest value-adding manufacturing sectors and is particularly important to Ayrshire. We look forward to playing our part in boosting the economic growth, both of Ayrshire and Scotland."
