Get Into Defence – Supply Chain Showcase
RTC are partnering with Growth Platform and Cammell Laird to bring you an exclusive workshop packed with experienced speakers including Cammell Laird’s Procurement Team, the North West Regional Defence and Security Cluster, Make UK Defence and many more.
They’ll share valuable insights on how to:
- Engage with the defence supply chain
- Secure essential accreditations
- Position yourself to win new opportunities
This workshop will explore the vital role of SMEs in the defence sector and how businesses from any sector can, and should, successfully find opportunities within it.
While manufacturers are a key part of the supply chain, defence also depends on a wide range of products and services that are often overlooked – which means this event could give you a real advantage in a competitive marketplace.
From facilities and maintenance to furniture and interiors, technology to professional services, clothing and textiles to everyday consumables, the demand is broad and constant.
Following the session, we’ll host a Q&A with leading industry primes and suppliers, giving you first-hand insights, the common pitfalls to avoid, and practical advice on how to stand out.
Limited Meet the Buyer sessions will also be available on the day with Cammell Laird’s procurement team. Slots for these will be released after registration.
The UK defence sector is a multi-billion-pound industry, and with government spending set to increase to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, demand for manufacturing capability will continue to grow.
This is your chance to:
- Understand the procurement landscape
- Build the right connections
- Ensure your business is ready to supply into this expanding market
Places are limited and expected to sell out quickly, book early to avoid disappointment.
