  • Episode 16 - Choosing Defence as a career
    UK Government estimates that UK defence spending supports around 434,000 highly skilled and well-paid jobs in all regions and nations of the UK. Despite this, the national skills shortage remains a critical challenge in the Defence sector. In this episode we therefore look at what Team Tempest and the development of the UK’s FCAS capability, has to offer Suitably Qualified Experienced Professionals and why a career in the UK aerospace industry should be of interest to all ages and skill sets. Joining host Zevi Watmough to discuss the topic further are: John McCullough, MBDA, Sales and Business Development Executive, FCAS MJ, People Leader, UK MOD Sarah, Skills Future Supply Integration Lead, BAE Systems

  • Episode 15 - What Team Tempest will deliver for the UK
    In the first two episodes of this series, we explored the capability being developed by Team Tempest that will enable the UK, and particularly the Royal Air Force, to protect the country and meet potential threats. In this episode we focus on the benefits that Team Tempest will deliver to the UK’s prosperity. The UK government’s commitment to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by April 2027, with an ambition to increase to 3% in the next Parliament, as economic and fiscal conditions allow, will see the biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War.   Joining host Zevi Watmough to discuss how Team Tempest and the wider UK Defence sector are important contributors to the country’s future economic growth are: Clive Higgins, ADS VP Defence (Leonardo UK Chair & CEO) John Stocker, BAE Systems, Business Development Director, FCAS Mark Tivey, Rolls Royce, Business Development Director, Future Programmes, Combat Air  Find out more about Team Tempest Follow us on X for the latest news on Team Tempest Learn more about the opportunities for #GenerationTempest on Instagram Catch up our story so far on YouTube
