Great to bring Kanishka Narayan MP, the Minister for AI and Online Safety, to Cody Technology Park to meet some of the incredible businesses we have right here in Farnborough.
A huge thank you to XLB, Vodafone Three, SiXworks, Ark Data Centres and QinetiQ for taking the time to speak with us and showcase their work.
From defence to AI and the technologies of the future, local innovators are doing work that matters for our national security, while also creating jobs, investment and opportunities here in Aldershot and Farnborough.
I’ll keep working with Government, Rushmoor Council and local businesses to back that growth and help create more jobs, training and opportunities for local people, especially our young generation.

Happy 25th anniversary to QinetiQ. 🎉
Born out of the roots of the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough, QinetiQ has spent 25 years helping keep our country safe, developing vital defence capabilities right here.
From DragonFire laser technology to new facilities supporting Royal Navy submariners, their work is another reminder of Farnborough innovation making a national impact.
But their impact is felt locally too. From supporting the National Armed Forces Day celebrations we were so proud to host, to creating skilled local jobs and apprenticeships, and opening up more opportunities for the next generation. 📚⚙️🥼
A brilliant local business, delivering for our community and our country! ... See MoreSee Less

This is Aldershot and Farnborough - told by the people who came together to celebrate it. 🇬🇧🪖
A community proud of our Armed Forces, proud of the role our towns play in keeping our country safe, and proud of the diverse community that makes this place what it is.
This is what we campaigned so hard for when bringing Armed Forces Day home: bringing people together, renewing pride in our towns, opening up more opportunities for the next generation, and building something lasting for our towns.
And I’ll keep pushing for exactly that.

What an unforgettable Armed Forces Weekend in Aldershot and Farnborough! 🇬🇧🪖
I’m so proud to have helped bring the National Armed Forces Day celebrations back to the Home of the British Army and the birthplace of British aviation. From writing the bid with Sophie Porter, to making our case to the MoD, raising the sponsorship and months of planning - it’s been an incredible journey to get here.
Our towns showed the country who we are: proud of our Armed Forces, proud of our history, and ready to play a huge role in our nation’s future.
Thank you to the whole team at Rushmoor Borough Council, our military partners, the MoD, sponsors, stallholders, volunteers and everyone who helped make this weekend so special.
This was never just about one weekend. It was about building something lasting: pride in who we are, more opportunities for our young people, and the investment our community deserves.
And I will never stop campaigning for that as your Member of Parliament.

Brilliant to see the Polo Fields already buzzing today as final preparations come together for a huge weekend here in Aldershot.

In a week when our community is hosting the National Armed Forces Day celebrations, I raised last week’s horrific racist attack in Municipal Gardens directly with the Prime Minister.
Our Gurkhas have given so much to this country, and we must do all we can to ensure they feel valued and protected.
I asked the Prime Minister about the need to recognise the bravery of our Gurkhas, stand by them, and resolve the historic issue of Gurkha pensions, so we can truly honour their service.

🚨 Rushmoor is getting a new Youth Hub! 🚨
After campaigning hard for this, I’m thrilled that we’ve secured a new Youth Hub as part of the £2.5 billion this Labour Government is investing in the Youth Guarantee Scheme.
It will be a one-stop shop, bringing together local employers, organisations and work coaches to offer:
💼 Career advice
🎯 Direct access to jobs, skills and training opportunities
🏠 Support with housing, mental health and more
This is a huge step forward. Now more than ever, we need to do everything we can to support our young people into work and opportunity. I will keep working to build a brighter future for everyone growing up in our community.
