On Tuesday 27th January, Birmingham based Truflo Marine were honoured to host the Key Supplier Forum for the first time on behalf of BAE Systems (Submarine Solutions). The event provided Truflo Marine with the opportunity to showcase their products, premises and key personnel.

Truflo Marine extended their hospitality to the Skills Academy for Manufacturing, a world class centre of excellence and innovation in skills. It provides an independent national standard for manufacturing training content, advice and delivery.

BAE Systems Submarine Solutions is responsible for the design, build and commissioning of the Astute Submarine which will be the most powerful vessel of its kind ever operated by the Royal Navy.

Both Malcolm Dare and Ian Burns BAE Systems Submarine Solutions Supply Chain Director and Head of Supply Chain respectively, addressed the delegates.

Ian Burns has since expressed his sincere thanks to Truflo Marine; ‘On behalf of BAE can I thank you for your excellent hosting of Key Supplier Forum 19.
