Defence Procurement & Supply Chain Summit 2026
Cherry & White was proud to sponsor and exhibit at the UK National Defence Procurement & Supply Chain Summit 2026 in Manchester, joining organisations and industry leaders from across the UK defence community.
The event provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the challenges facing the sector, share insights and explore how technology and industry collaboration can strengthen the resilience of UK defence capabilities.
Championing resilient UK-sovereign technology
During the event, we showcased our technology and discussed the growing importance of resilient, UK-sovereign Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities, including in conversations with Luke Pollard MP, Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry.
Through our partnership with TimeBeat, a UK specialist in precision timing, we combine innovative technology with our expertise in defence, telecommunications and systems integration to deliver resilient PNT solutions designed to operate when GNSS signals are disrupted or unavailable.
Steve Slim, Cherry & White, commented:
“It was a pleasure to attend alongside our valued partner TimeBeat, meet Luke Pollard MP and connect with organisations from across Government and the MOD. The conversations reinforced the importance of collaboration and resilient technology in supporting the future of UK defence. We look forward to building on the connections made throughout the event.”
Looking ahead
Thank you to DPRTE and BiP Solutions for delivering an excellent event, and to everyone who visited us and shared their challenges and priorities.
We look forward to continuing the conversations and exploring opportunities to support the future of UK defence and critical infrastructure.
