Forging Resilience into the UK’s Defence Supply Chain

As the UK increases defence spending in response to a changing global landscape, the focus has turned to British industry to secure vital defence programmes. Whether it’s for naval applications or land-based systems, including armoured vehicles, the demand from the industry is clear: resilient, responsive supply chains rooted in British manufacturing. This means that an integral step is rebuilding critical supply chains right here in the UK, rather than overseas.

Based in the West Midlands and proudly UK-owned, Brockhouse is one of the UK’s longest-established forges, celebrating its 140th anniversary this year. Every component we produce is made in-house, on our forging and machining facility, supplying critical components for the defence sector. By keeping manufacturing in the UK, we offer faster lead times, consistent quality control, and protection from global logistics disruptions. For our customers, working with Brockhouse means having a direct access to our team which truly understands the needs of the defence sector, with no overseas delays.

Brockhouse forgings are engineered to do far more than withstand force, they are built to endure the harshest environments and the most demanding operational conditions. Our forgings offer superior strength and durability compared to other manufacturing methods, making them ideal for application in the defence sector. Each component is produced to exact specifications, and for all new product introductions, we operate within stringent APQP disciplines, as well as being approved to BS EN ISO 9001:2015, meaning that we are committed to providing the highest levels of quality, and exceeding customer expectations. Whether for land or sea, our forgings combine proven metallurgical expertise with the assurance of UK manufacturing, delivering dependable performance where it matters most.
