Babcock joins Made in Britain

We’re pleased to have joined the UK manufacturers’ trade association, Made in Britain. As a world-renowned manufacturer producing a range of defence equipment across the UK, partnering with the 2,100 UK manufacturers in the Made in Britain community will bring us closer to our long-term goal of ensuring the UK has a robust sovereign defence capability.

As the second largest supplier to the UK Ministry of Defence, we contribute over £3.3bn a year to UK GDP, and work with the Ministry of Defence across more critical programmes than any other company. Whether we’re building warships, ensuring the British Army has the vehicles and weapons it needs or carrying out the deep maintenance of nuclear submarines, we’re committed to making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate, providing high-quality jobs and delivering social and economic sustainability across the UK.

Ewan Sime, Global Director of Procurement and Supply Chain, Babcock said: “As a Sovereign British Defence company, we are delighted to be joining the Made in Britain community. Engaging with this extensive network of companies will only serve to increase the resilience of the UK industrial supply chain. Made in Britain stands for innovative, agile manufacturers here in the UK producing for the good of the British economy. It’s a group in which Babcock belongs.”

John Pearce, CEO of Made in Britain, added: “Made in Britain is proud to welcome a company of Babcock’s stature as an accredited member. Their world-class engineering and production capabilities represent the very best of what British manufacturing has to offer – the association with the 2,100 licence holders, more than 300 of which are in the engineering sector – using the Made in Britain Trademark will further highlight the UK’s reputation for precision manufacturing innovation and excellence across the world.”
