Ryebridge backs vision for Luton Airport growth

Luton Rising wants to increase annual passenger numbers to 32m.

Ryebridge Construction has pledged its support for a vision for growth and redevelopment of London Luton Airport - one of its partners for over 10 years.

The company's managing director, Daniel Coyle, wanted to emphasise the strong local links between Ryebridge and the town, while also recognising the potential offered by Luton Rising's plans, which include increasing annual passenger numbers to 32m.

Ryebridge's focus is on supporting the community wherever possible, with more than 90% of its site and office staff from the immediate area, and having developed a local supply chain and close links with nearby colleges.

This ethos also includes raising more than £250,000 for local charities in recent years, recognising they are the lifeblood of the local community.

Daniel explained: "The company understands it has a social responsibility to the community in which it was founded and will continue to support it in any way we can.

"To this end any developments for growth or increasing employment opportunities within the town should be embraced.

"The proposed airport redevelopment and expansion plans - while managed under the ethos of Green Controlled Growth - are both exciting and essential for the future of Luton.

"We believe that Luton Rising's vision will facilitate economic growth and opportunities for the region.

"As a company we would continue to turn that growth into real jobs and real training while continuing to use our well-developed and local supply chain."
