Cornwall Aerospace and Defence Initiative (CADI) hosted a high profile presentation to promote Cornish Aerospace and Defence businesses last month to influential representatives from A&D primes Airbus, BAe Systems, Rolls Royce, Agusta Westland, General Dynamics, the South West Regional Development Agency (RDA) and the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC). Cornwall is home to a significant number of aerospace and defence supply chain companies, many of whom are already active within major supply chains on a regional, national and international scale. CADI aims to succeed where in the past, Cornish Aerospace and Defence suppliers have found it difficult to compete for a stake in this lucrative but tightly-controlled sector.
David Proctor, the CADI Chairman, said:
‘We have a lot to be proud of here in Cornwall and it was about time we were able to promote the wealth of talents we have to offer businesses outside the county. This presentation was centred on our progression within the 21st century Supply Chain Scheme (SC21) of which Cornwall is a UK Supply Chain Pilot; as an implementation group CADI is probably one of the most innovative group of companies within this national programme. It is becoming more and more important to have the SC21 accreditation – soon, without it, it will become almost impossible to gain entry, and do business in these two sectors.'
