Make UK Defence Director-General Andrew Kinniburgh was featured in a recent BBC News article - "Defence firms 'need reassuring' that big orders will be long-term." Andrew highlighted the need for long term commitments in defence procurement to ensure UK defence firms can plan invest and grow with confidence. “If you look at the Nlaw [a shoulder-fired anti-tank missile system] designed by Saab, and built by Thales in Belfast, they hadn’t had any new orders for many years, and the production line was basically mothballed.” - Andrew Kinniburgh To read the full article please visit: https://lnkd.in/dhB8KMim #makeukdefence #defencesupplychains #ukmanufacturing #ukmfg Andrew Kinniburgh Estelle Exelby Samantha Hill Maria Winsper Kelly Maddison Charline Diomande James Watson Olivia Bayes-Garrould Dan Parvaz Helen Hastie
