Strategic priority 8
The purchase of the Waddington Training Centre has created a fantastic opportunity for LFR, not least, by securing our internal training provision for the future.
We will all be in agreement that this training site is a facility with incredible potential.
Work will commence through 2024 to assess the feasibility of some of the options the site can offer LFR. We will also look to identify any collaborative or commercial opportunities that may be available to us.
This work is incredibly important and will be appropriately phased in. Any work undertaken on the site, will create a legacy of training provision for LFR for many years to come.
