Eastleigh MP Mims Davies has met with industry experts on laser technology, Hedge End-based SPI Lasers, to learn more about the incredible international demand for their products.
Mims said,
‘Matt and Mike from SPI Lasers did a fantastic job at explaining some of the processes that are being pioneered in our local area – processes that are in high demand in overseas markets and particularly in China.
‘In fact demand is so high that they will soon be massively expanding their facilities – meaning there will be incredible job opportunities for Eastleigh constituents.
‘This is a hub of innovation, and there is a lot of scope for a whole range of people to join the industry – it requires a lot of dexterity and so ideal candidates can be women and girls, and particularly those with creative, intricate skills like nail technicians!
‘SPI Lasers are leading in an exceptionally competitive and fast paced industry: proving that we can take on the world from our corner of Hampshire.’
