Leadership & talent solutions for better business outcomes
The importance of the defence, aerospace and automotive industries are paramount in the current economic climate. Especially in the wake of COVID-19. Whilst defence remains buoyant, aerospace and automotive has been badly hit by the crisis. These markets have declined at a time when the UK was preparing to exit the EU.
