The Gatwick Diamond is a key location for companies supplying the defence industry and the team at stevensdrake specialise in dealing with the unique challenges of this most sensitive area. With experience in defence procurement including R&D contracts for emergent technology and supply contracts for existing goods and services, the team has assisted many lead and sub-contractors in their dealings with the Ministry of Defence and former UK Government Agencies. This places them in a unique position in Sussex and Surrey, allowing local companies to take advice from specialists on their doorstep.
Whilst the team is based in Sussex, work takes them the length and breadth of the country and even into Europe to provide specialist advice directly to clients wherever they are located.
