Bristol will receive more than £90 million for facility upgrades, digital infrastructure and increased maintenance, repair and overhaul capacity, with work due to finish in 2031. The site employs more than 3,500 people and supports programmes including the Eurofighter Typhoon’s EJ200 engine, the MT30 marine gas turbine and the Global Combat Air Programme.
Rolls-Royce will invest more than £140 million in new engineering and manufacturing services facilities in Derby, where it manages major civil aerospace work. The improvements, including additional aftermarket support capacity, are expected to be completed in 2028.
“Our manufacturing facilities in the UK are home to the very best of British engineering talent,” said chief executive Tufan Erginbilgic. “This £300 million investment is a clear statement of our intent.”
The programme also includes £43 million for new component-manufacturing machinery at Inchinnan near Glasgow and £5 million for equipment upgrades at Ansty in Warwickshire. At Rotherham, Rolls-Royce will invest £19 million in blade casting, supported by a further £2 million from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, with the aim of doubling advanced turbine blade output by 2030.
“This £300 million investment by Rolls-Royce is a powerful vote of confidence in Britain’s future and in the economic stability this Government is delivering,” John Healey said in the company’s announcement. “From Derby and Bristol to Rotherham, Glasgow and Warwickshire, it will back skilled jobs, strengthen our sovereign industrial capability, and help drive growth in communities across the United Kingdom.”
Rolls-Royce said it has invested more than £3 billion in the UK since beginning its transformation programme in 2023. It spent over £2.8 billion with UK suppliers in 2025, most of it with businesses outside London and the South East.
