Babcock International Group is combining naval expertise, global partnerships and advanced technology to shape the future of defense

Babcock International Group has spent more than a century building a reputation as one of the world’ s leading defense engineering companies. From designing and supporting complex warships and submarines to maintaining critical nuclear infrastructure and delivering advanced aviation and land capabilities, the FTSE 100 company provides the engineering expertise, technology and through-life support that underpin national security. Guided by its purpose to‘ create a safe and secure world, together’, Babcock is combining deep technical knowledge with an expanding international presence as it positions itself for the next phase of growth.

“ Babcock is a global defense company employing around 30,000 people and generating annual revenues of £ 5.2 billion,” begins IIgi Kim, Marine Chief Commercial Officer.“ We operate across four core sectors: marine, nuclear, land, and aviation, with both marine and nuclear each accounting for around a third of our business. While just over half of our revenue comes from the UK, we’ re increasingly focused on expanding our international footprint, with established operations in countries including Canada, France, Australia and South Africa. That’ s a key part of our growth strategy. In maritime alone, we’ re currently working with 17 countries, and as we look to 2030, we’ re aiming to grow the business to more than £ 7 billion through continued international expansion and major programs around the world.”
