I saw in an interview that the contract has to have a minimum 60% uk content. So will that equate to 60% H&W.
In an interview late last year John Wood, H&W group chief executive, insisted the contract would strengthen “UK sovereign design and shipbuilding capability, as well as generating around £1.4bn in national social and economic value”.
He played down union fears that work would migrate to Spain, saying the contract would have a “minimum UK content of 60 per cent”.
The partnership with Navantia, he added, would enable the consortium to “deliver the vessels on time and on budget, something which UK shipbuilding have never managed to do”.
60% of that contract would be huge
