APCL A&P Falmouth Welcomes Rt Hon Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer.

This week, it was fantastic to welcome Rt Hon Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer to APCL Group’s Falmouth facility as part of her wider visit to the South West.

The Chancellor enjoyed a tour of the shipyard where she witnessed the facility’s defence, offshore, commercial and cruise capabilities – as well as meeting with apprentices and members of the APCL A&P Falmouth workforce.

Mike Spicer, Managing Director of APCL A&P Falmouth said: "APCL A&P Falmouth is a centre of excellence for the Royal Navy, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, offshore vessels, cruise ships and ferries. The facility is also a busy working port, handling over 100,000 tonnes of product annually and welcoming 56 cruise calls this year.

"APCL was delighted to welcome the Chancellor to our facility and demonstrate at first hand our capabilities.

"The visit also provided a platform to discuss our plans to expand our facility, which would significantly enhance the services we can offer to our defence, offshore and cruise customers and help fulfil Cornwall's ambitious floating offshore wind agenda."
