Brockhouse Welcomes UK’s Strategic Defence Investment: A New Era for British Manufacturing

On 2nd June 2025, the UK Government unveiled its most comprehensive defence strategy since the Cold War, committing to a major increase in defence spending and setting out a roadmap to modernise military capability and infrastructure. Brockhouse is an approved supplier to the defence sector and welcomes this move to shore-up the UK’s defence capabilities, using British manufacturers.

The announcement from the UK Government includes the building of 12 new submarines as well as a pledge to raise defence spending to 2.5% by 2027-28, aiming for 3% by the 2030s, during the next parliament.

Brockhouse has extensive experience as a supplier to the defence sector. Our forged components have supported generations of military platforms, including on armoured vehicles. We are proud to supply some of the most demanding and technically advanced sectors in the world, where precision, reliability and durability are non-negotiable.

With this increase in spending mapped out by the UK Government, Brockhouse is proud to be a British owned company. We are ready to support the defence industry with their forging needs.
