How the Defence Sector Can Support a Struggling British Supply Chain

 

London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/04/2021 -- Supply chain resilience and maximising opportunities for growth are two key themes across the economy in a world ravaged by the pandemic. Now, a new opportunity to capitalise on both has been identified in the form of the defence sector. Currently, the defence sector in the UK accounts for £12 billion GVA and employs around 200,000 people, whether directly or indirectly. It's also a sector with a large presence in areas of the country that have been identified as central to the government's 'levelling up' agenda. Plus, the UK defence sector is a big investor in cutting edge tech and, a new report has identified, is also channelling a socially responsible approach to investing as well as putting money behind green tech and clean technologies. The government is being encouraged to "cross-pollinate" the success of the defence sector to help create more opportunities across the economy to build supply chain resilience, take advantage of export opportunities and focus on economic gains.
