Redwire opens UK office for MoD aerospace programmes

The London office will include staff working across engineering, programme management, logistics, and sustainment functions. A local team, says the company, will provide real-time support and localised lifecycle management for MoD initiatives.

“Our broadened footprint in the United Kingdom underscores our commitment to supporting the MOD with the world’s most advanced uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technologies,” said Steve Adlich, President of Redwire Defense Tech.

“By strengthening our presence in the UK, we are ensuring continued support for the MOD’s Tiquila program and the operational success of Redwire’s Stalker (Eagle) uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms, while providing our partners with immediate access to the expertise, reliability, and innovation Redwire is known for.”

The offices expand the aerospace and defence company’s footprint in Europe. But it highlighted the importance of the UK for defence.

“As demand for advanced UAS (unmanned aircraft system) capabilities continues to rise, our growing European presence reflects our long-term commitment to supporting partners wherever mission needs emerge,” added Tuna Djemil, Vice President of Business Development and Strategy for Redwire Defense Tech. “The UK represents a critical hub for defence innovation, and we are proud to contribute to its future capability development.”

Note that Redwire already has regional offices in Luxembourg, Riga, Warsaw, and Kruibeke in Belgium. Its global headquarters are in Jacksonville, Florida.
