I have been working to promote Newquay’s bid to be the site of the UK’s Spaceport.In my opinion Newquay is in a very strong position, it boasts the fifth biggest runway in the UK and offers the Space industry room to grow in the Aerohub Enterprise Zone.

It will attract a whole host of technical jobs and tourists from across the globe at a level we do not currently experience.
