It was great to host the new Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry at Somers Forge, to make an announcement on a new framework for defence suppliers.
“As a multi-generational family business, it was an honour to host the MaST framework announcement at our Midlands-based forging and engineering company. Our workforce possesses extensive traditional and modern engineering skills which are essential to supporting the UK’s current and future sovereign capabilities. I feel the announced framework is a pertinent step towards ensuring that UK SME manufacturing companies, such as ours, continue to play an important role in MOD contracts well into the future”.
Amy Folkes, Group Director
Many other key figures were in attendance from the Ministry of Defence including Toni Gray, programme director, along with industry leaders including Dr Simon Dakin, director of Integrated Battlespace and Samira Braund, ADS group defence director. Somers Forge are experts in the finish machining and refurbishment of ship propulsion shafts.
