Britain’s defence industry suppliers have been praised by Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace, for their work in partnering the MoD to maintain critical output during the coronavirus pandemic, reports ADS.
“The UK is fortunate that our defence industry and its key workers are stepping up to support the Government at this critical time. Not only have they been donating their expertise and equipment, but maintaining their critical outputs during the ongoing pandemic, said Defence Secretary Ben Wallace in this report.
“Just last week I heard how BAE Systems in Barrow-in-Furness have rapidly and innovatively adopted new practices to ensure their vital work can continue – in line with Government guidelines – keeping both their employees and our nation safe, today and in the future.”
Defence suppliers have provided extraordinary support throughout the crisis, not only maintaining critical output but also working alongside MoD staff as part of the Ventilator Challenge to share their engineering expertise as well as lending procurement support to secure vital PPE.
