David Cameron opens

Prime Minister David
Cameron officially
opened personal
protection equipment
specialist JSP’s new
state-of-the-art
industrial safety helmet
manufacturing facility
in Minster Lovell,
Oxfordshire.

JSP has invested more
than £3m to create what
the company says is the world’s most
advanced industrial safety helmet
manufacturing line, which has a
capacity of more than 4m helmets a
year. JSP’s new Evolution range of
industrial safety helmets will be sold in
over 90 countries around the globe.

The new range provides the platform
for growth over the next 5-10 years, as
well as future expansion of
the workforce, including
the planned introduction
of new apprenticeship and
graduate trainee schemes
in 2012.

Said the prime minister:
“With our economy today,
we desperately need to
rebalance it in favour of
high-tech manufacturing
and exports like this. It is
heartening to see that the expansion
has been made here in Oxfordshire
and not somewhere else in the world.

“With our motor industry
expanding here in the UK also,
‘Made in Britain’ is a label we can be
proud of.”
