Join us for an exclusive webinar featuring Andrew Nagalewski, Deputy Supply Chain Director at the Ministry of Defence (MOD), as we delve into the key outcomes and insights from DPRTE 2025. This session will provide a comprehensive look at the future of defence procurement, drawing on the themes and discussions from the DPRTE event, which took place on March 26-27, 2025, at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre.
This year’s DPRTE event marked a significant milestone as it moved to a two-day format for the first time, bringing together experts, suppliers, and innovators from across the defence sector. Against the backdrop of a substantial increase in UK defence spending, with the government announcing an additional £2.9 billion in 2026 and £2.2 billion in 2027, the event highlighted the growing opportunities for those across the defence supply chain—from established primes to innovative SMEs. This surge in funding is part of the government’s ongoing commitment to strengthening national security and maintaining technological superiority, creating a renewed sense of possibility within the defence industry.
As the Deputy Supply Chain Director at MOD, Andrew Nagalewski plays a pivotal role in shaping the MOD’s supply chain capabilities, including digital and technological transformation, ensuring that the MOD’s supply chain remains integrated, efficient, and resilient. During this session, Andrew will provide invaluable insights into the ongoing supply chain transformation, focusing on people, processes, technology, and resilience.
