Daniel Zeichner MP has visited Barclay’s “Eagle Lab” in Cherry Hinton today. The lab is kitted out with event space and all the latest equipment including a laser cutter, vinyl cutter and a 3D printer.

Mr Zeichner has seen the 3D printer in action and met Laura Flack, Head of Eagle Labs, to hear about the workshops the company provide to customers and non-customers in local businesses and the wider community.

Barclays research has found that almost half (47%) of UK respondents have never taken steps to improve their digital skills.

Daniel Zeichner MP said: “I welcome this boost to Cambridge’s digital skills. Cambridge is a world leading digital centre and it is great to see how local companies are benefitting from using cutting edge technology and that local people are getting a great chance to enhance their digital skills.”
