Derby is synonymous with world-class engineering, home to Rolls-Royce's global civil aerospace manufacturing headquarters and the UK's premier rail engineering cluster. Alstom (formerly Bombardier Transportation) builds trains at their Litchurch Lane works, while Toyota's Burnaston plant operates one of the most automated car factories in Europe. The iHub at Infinity Park and Derby's University Technical College focus specifically on advanced manufacturing and engineering skills, making PLC and SCADA qualifications particularly valuable in this city.
