A Presentation by Mr Nigel Billingham on the new maritime industrial strategy, Tuesday 17 July 2007
Venue: Army & Navy Club, London
Industrial partnership is a cornerstone of the UK government’s Defence Industrial Strategy, first published in December 2005. Nowhere is this more vital than in the support of the Royal Navy’s ships and submarines. The new maritime industrial strategy sets out the broad landscape for this partnership and presentations earlier this year from a number of key people in the Ministry of Defence have set out the department’s aspirations.
However, to succeed the partnership must be a two way street and industry is making great strides in this direction. In particular the UK prime contractors are making significant progress to bring together the maritime industrial potential from cradle to grave support of the UK fleet.
The mission statement – putting the surface fleet to sea and keeping it there - of the Directorate General of Surface Ships in the newly formed Defence Equipment & Support organisation relies heavily on close co-operation with the maritime industries.
The presentation is a unique opportunity for a wide cross section of the naval & maritime industries to hear at first hand developments on the industrial side for the support of the Royal Navy’s surface fleet under the new maritime industrial strategy.
Cut-off date for receipt of all applications is Monday 9 July 2007. for further information contact Clementina Upton on 020 7928 9199 or email bnea@maritimeindustries.org
