British Aerospace and GKN Westlands, are known around the world, needing little introduction in business circles. These companies are not downsizing operations on the Isle of Wight, but increasing their respective presences.

Whilst the continuing presence of major international companies on the Island greatly benefits the regional economy, it is the emergence and incredible growth of our younger companies that is of real interest. The great assets of the Island have enabled these companies to flourish and become international names in their own right.
