As one of the world's leading independent defence design, engineering and management support companies, BMT assists its customers in meeting evolving challenges. Through major centres of defence expertise, we provide government and industry customers with impartial advice on complex defence projects from inception through to disposal.

Maintaining military superiority, managing technical risk and meeting budget and programme objectives require a highly trained, motivated and innovative intellectual base. BMT contributes with more than 500 professional staff in its defence businesses, representing a major source of independent technical excellence. Free from shareholder interests, with BMT's assets being held in an Employee Benefit Trust that ensures all our staff share in the rewards of the company's success, we are able to focus solely on excellent customer service.

In addition to providing extensive training opportunities for our own staff, we support a range of naval architecture and engineering student bursary schemes as well as a merchant navy officer cadet training programme to invest in the development of future talent and innovation.

Much of our work is conducted as part of a team, be it a government or industry partnership. Here our complete independence from manufacturing, production and construction interests allows us to form strategic long-term partnerships with government agencies and major contractors on a project-specific basis.
