A new office for specialists which will help deliver the Aukus nuclear submarine programme is opening in Glasgow.
The Rolls-Royce Submarines office will also support the programme to build the Dreadnought class of submarines, which will replace the Vanguard class vessels which carry the UK’s Trident nuclear deterrent.
The company says it will create more than 100 skilled jobs.
Aukus is the name of the trilateral agreement between Australia, the UK and the US to create a joint nuclear submarine project.
