Engineering consultancy Frazer-Nash has been approved as an
Associate Member of Niteworks, the partnership between the UK
Ministry of Defence (MOD) and industry that provides decision
support to the UK MOD.
Niteworks was established in 2003 and is a partnership between
the MOD, including the Defence Science & Technology Laboratory
(Dstl), and more than 100 industry organisations. By working
closely, the partnership is able to draw on relevant specialist
skills and expertise to help it to make informed decisions on
defence projects - such as those in the fields of information
systems, security and communications.
By becoming an Associate Member, Frazer-Nash is now able to
participate in Niteworks projects and be considered for specific
roles contributing knowledge and experience to support the MOD as
required.
Commenting on the news, Frazer-Nash Business Manager Dave Reed
said: "Frazer-Nash's specialist defence engineering capabilities
are complemented by our strong existing relationship with the MOD -
indeed we have been called upon by MOD in the past to manage and
deliver high technology projects, and to develop decision making
approaches across the land, sea, air and communications
domains.
"Being an Associate Member of Niteworks is very important to us
and we look forward to the opportunity to provide our full range of
engineering services - including systems engineering, decision
support, research and policy development - to the MOD on its
programmes."
"The recent appointment of Bill Hodson as Business Director to
Frazer-Nash also underlines our ambition to continue to refresh and
develop our information systems, resilience and security
engineering offering to the MOD and industry, at a time when these
services are more important than ever."
Niteworks' Partnering & Communications Director Gerry Ward
said: "We are delighted to welcome Frazer-Nash to the Niteworks
partnership as an Associate Member. Developing our specialist
knowledge and industry expertise helps to make the Niteworks
offering stronger and enables us to deliver greater value for money
to the MOD."
