Completly different industry to what I work in, so unless I had to work in one of their building, I wouldn't of heard of them
Only aerospace companies i've worked for is BAe and Airbus.
Good luck with the job!

Not taking on at the mo 
Near (Sandycroft) but we dont do work for them, The welding is coded on the heads where the tubes go into the head (ends), some dont need to be welded and are just expended.
