Job Boom at London's Diamond Aircraft

More good news for london! But I hered that Workers at the London Siemens VDO plant are wondering about its future following Friday's company announcement it was moving most of the production from its Chatham plant to Mexico.


Job Boom at London's Diamond Aircraft

London's aerospace industry may be small, but it is about to undergo massive expansion.
Diamond Aircraft is preparing to hire up to 500 new workers to meet the demand for it's new D-Jet.

The new jet is priced at $1.3M, which is low enough to attract a lot of interest from people who otherwise couldn't afford a jet.

The company is already hiring, and with a $10,000,000 loan from the province, the boom could spin off across the entire Forest City economy.

And Diamond is also eager to obtain a federal government loan.

Some of the government money will be used to conduct a search for workers with exactly the skills Diamond will need.

With both loans in place, D-Jet production could be at full throttle by next summer.
