Frazer-Nash has always been renowned for its
innovative engineering. This passion started with just one man and
has shaped the way we operate today. We continue to enhance our
techniques and capabilities to deliver the best to our
clients.
Where we are today
Today Frazer-Nash provides global engineering services to the
defence, nuclear, aerospace, transport, power and energy, and
security and resilience industries. Frazer-Nash operates
autonomously whilst contributing invaluably to the Babcock
International Group. It is the values held by Archie Frazer-Nash,
to deliver engineering excellence by exceeding expectations, that
has made the company the success it is today and it is these values
that we continue to aspire to.
