In November 2022, we announced plans for the creation of a world-class Dynamic Test Facility (DTF) in Northern Ireland. This is a £7.5 million investment in a facility that will catapult Thompson into a new era of development and innovation. The DTF will give us enhanced capability to certify new products for airworthiness and to carry out research and development work.

We are part of one the world’s largest aerospace companies, but we have not forgotten our roots. We began this journey in 2011; one great idea and a handful of eager engineers with a shared creative vision. We have gained more than a few new recruits in that time, and a lot more factory floor space, but our passion for our products and flair for innovation have remained. We are proud to say that we have nurtured that creativity and grown the business to rank in the top ten companies in our industry, worldwide, and there’s more to come!
