Welcome to Naval Shipbuilding in northwest England

We aim to secure a steady drumbeat of naval shipbuilding orders to enable the Royal Navy to defend the UK and the sea lanes on which our trade depends.
A steady order flow will sustain the high value skills in the UK's naval shipbuilding and submarine building yards,their supply chains and through life support bases. 

"Keep our future Afloat" is led by UNITE and GMB.
