David Cole, managing director of Roke, said:

“As a key cyber security adviser to UK Government, we are at the sharp end of trying to tackle the UK skills shortage of high quality engineers and consultants.”

Roke already employs 365 electronic engineering consultants at its headquarters in Hampshire, the company plans to double staff numbers over the next five years.

“Gloucester and the West of England enjoy a thriving digital economy, which has the cyber security talent we need to help protect both government and commercial critical infrastructure,” said Cole.
