We help members make business connections across the diverse defence industry, helping them prosper and grow.

Our mission is simple

  • To identify our members’ challenges in the domestic and global defence industry
  • To ensure their concerns are clearly heard by ministers and civil servants in the Ministry of Defence and across Whitehall.
  • To help our members make the connections they need across the supply chain by hosting regular networking events attended by dozens of companies.
  • To organise Meet the Buyer events where suppliers and buyers establish relevant contacts, both virtually and in-person.
  • To provide our members with true competitive advantage through our Fit for Defence Programme.
