“Our involvement in the defence equipment sector began in the early 2000s, originating from our partnership with Airbus, whose suppliers also produced components and systems for military aircraft. Since then, our expertise has evolved and expanded, making defence one of our most active networks today. We operate across a wide spectrum of technologies — from space and land systems to firearms, munitions, ballistic armour, situational awareness technologies, communications, and more. As the official talent partner to Make UK Defence and its rapidly growing network of manufacturers, we are trusted to connect exceptional talent with the businesses that safeguard and advance defence innovation.

The global defence sector continues to experience sustained growth, with spending surpassing $2.7 trillion in 2024, a 9.4% increase from the previous year, driven by heightened geopolitical tensions, technological innovation and strategic modernisation.&nbsp;
Defence manufacturing, including aerospace systems, advanced weaponry and cybersecurity solutions, is at the forefront of national security investments, particularly across NATO countries, the US, UK, and emerging markets in Asia. By 2030, the global defence manufacturing market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5%, reflecting long-term demand for cutting-edge systems, unmanned platforms, and integrated digital defence networks. This transformation is creating demand for a skilled workforce across engineering, manufacturing, cybersecurity, project management, and logistics roles. The sector supports millions of jobs globally, with the UK defence industry alone employing over 500,000 people, including 4,000+ apprentices. However, skills gaps persist, particularly in specialist engineering and technology roles. Morgan Ryder partners with global leading defence manufacturers, contractors and government suppliers to deliver high-quality talent across the sector. Our team understands the compliance-driven nature of the industry, with expertise in security clearance protocols, defence procurement cycles and high-security environments.
