LIBDEM CANDIDATE VISITS QINETIQ DEFENCE AND SECURITY COMPANY IN MALVERN
West Worcestershire’s Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate, Richard Burt
paid a recent visit to the Malvern home of QinetiQ, the defence and security
technologies company, to see the work of the town’s biggest employer.
Mr Burt received a presentation from Managing Director, Andrew Sleigh and was
given a tour of QinetiQ including demonstrations of some of their latest
technologies in the defence, security and the commercial sector.
“Defence research has been at the heart of employment in Malvern over the past
fifty years, and QinetiQ maintains its position at the cutting edge of defence
and security technologies in a fast changing world.
“Over 2000 scientists and engineers are employed locally, and the continued
success of the company is vital to the local economy.
“I was delighted to be able to set up contact between QinetiQ and our shadow
defence team in Westminster, and hope that these talks will lead to regular
briefings and contact over future developments in the global defence and
security market.”
