Aerospace innovation has a history in Rugby
Brownsover Hall provides an inspiring setting, located in the hometown of Sir Frank Whittle, inventor of the jet engine, the venue offers more than a beautiful historic backdrop—it connects delegates with one of the defining engineering achievements of the twentieth century. Frank Whittle working at Brownsover Hall in what is now Boughton’s Tearoom — the Gothic windows and fireplace behind him are still exactly where he left them.
