This week, we hear from Michael, Safe Systems of Work Manager.

We recently welcomed students from United States National Defense University (NDU) to our operations at the Ministry of Defence, Donnington site which plays a vital role in ensuring that the British Army remain mission ready, making sure their complex vehicles and equipment are ready for action when needed. The NDU educates military and national security leaders on national strategy, so it was a pleasure to have serving US military personnel and US government employees join us for the day to understand more around how industry works closely with the military. The visitors enjoyed a tour of the facility, speaking to many of our people, and had the opportunity to ask questions about how we conduct the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of the British Army’s vehicles. Professor Steven M.Bloom Ph.D from the NDU said, “We have a keen interest in exploring ways the US Department of Defense can leverage MRO participation from foreign allies and partners operating outside of the United States, exactly like Babcock’s operations in the UK and around the world.” Adrian Smith, Babcock’s Head of Operations at Donnington said, “We thoroughly enjoyed welcoming our visitors from the NDU who showed a huge interest in how our partnering ethos drives everything that we do and delivers the right results for the British Army.” Dwight D.
