Recently, the UK Government announced new increased spending for the defence sector, creating new opportunities for suppliers in this sector. Along with DSIS policy, which indicates the importance of shoring up the UK’s defence supply chain, this marks an integral step when it comes to supporting the UK’s manufacturing sector. At CSE, we recognise this shift in policy and spending, and are proud to have both the capacity and commitment to contribute meaningfully to the UK’s defence and national security objectives. Recently, CSE achieved its JOSCAR and Cyber Essentials accreditations, as well as joining MAKE UK Defence, indicating our dedication to supporting the UK’s defence sector.
