“Thales is a global security company that is second to none. We have over 60, 000 staff worldwide. We are the headline sponsor of this exhibition. We are here because we are a key player in the UK supplying our equipment to armed forces and the police around the world. These include the supply of crucial military technology – sophisticated Command Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence Surveillance, Targeting Acquisition and Reconnaissance (C4ISTAR) systems.  It is a great exhibition in terms of the large turn-out, the calibre of exhibitors and visitors that have been invited. We were the main sponsor last year, but did not exhibit. I am very pleased our Managing Director, Mr Greg Roberts delivered the opening Address and a workshop on CBRNe.” – Paul Mottershead, Director of Communications, Thales.
