Luton Leonardo celebrates Investors in Young People Gold award

Leonardo, of Capability Green, has been recognised for its commitment to the “recruitment, development and retention of a diverse range of young people”, and for its passion to support STEM subjects.

The company runs engaging programmes to empower young people, such as the annual ‘Rampaging Chariot Robotic Games’ and ‘International Women in Engineering Days’, while it offers mentoring, too.

Alastair Morrison, Leonardo’s deputy managing director (UK), said: “We know that we have to lay the groundwork now to create an environment where talent can thrive in the future.”
