Level Five Supplies has been appointed as a full member of the South West Regional Defence Cluster, the UK’s first organisation of its kind.

Impacting job creation, innovation, safety and security

“Working with world-class organisations in the South West, in addition to serving their needs for robotics and sensing, means that we can make an impact on not just local job creation and innovation, but also on safety and security of the UK,” said Alex Lawrence-Berkeley, CEO of Level Five Supplies

“Our breadth of products and expertise in supporting R&D departments of fellow members, from the region’s universities to prime contractors at the forefront of defence and security, is proof of our ability to develop and grow as a young company, and local customers in this sector will add to our established customers around Europe and the Rest of the World.”
