Turks Look To Increase Business With UK Defence Sector

British businessmen and women from the UK’s defence industry met recently with Turkish officials and procurement officers to discuss initiatives to increase the volume of business done with Turkey within the sector.
The British defence industry has a prestigious worldwide reputation and Richard Paniguian from UKTI seemed assured that the presence of leading Turkish Government officials indicated a serious interest on their part.
Richard Paniguian, speaking after the seminar which was organised by UKTI Defence and Security Organisation, also explained that UKTI DSO “will do all [it] can” to ensure British defence firms have all the knowledge, tools and contacts necessary to further penetrate this “rewarding market”.
Since the seminar the 50 represented British companies have been liaising with both UKTI and Turkish officials to identify possible projects for future collaboration.
