Viva Lands Role on Tempest Programme

Viva has secured a project with BAE Systems to highlight the positive impact the Tempest programme is having on the broader supply chain in the UK.

From its inception the Tempest mantra has been to do things differently — and this has also meant companies like BAE Systems taking an innovative approach to working with partners both within the traditional defence supply chain but also beyond it, with high-technology SMEs, academia, catapult organisations and adjacent sectors.  Viva’s role has been to bring these stories alive.

Tony Garner of Viva said: “Tempest has seen a very different dynamic with the main partners finding new ways to interreact with suppliers, academic leads, and industrial trailblazers outside of defence and aerospace — like the gaming and automotive sectors. The project we are supporting is fascinating work and it highlights how, through Team Tempest, BAE Systems is harnessing thousands of bright minds and rapidly developing technologies in a way that’s not been done in the UK before.

“Talking to business owners and managers in the supply chain there is real kudos to being part of one of the most exciting aerospace programmes for generations and that’s something we at Viva now share.”

The work produced by Viva is being shared through the media and will feature as Part of BAE Systems’ Future of Combat Air website – www.baesystems.com/tempest

Tempest is focused on delivering a capable, flexible and affordable system by the mid-2030s, providing military, economic and industrial benefit to the UK and international partners.

Viva has worked closely with BAE Systems Air for more than 10 years providing a range of PR and communications support. To discover how Viva can support you contact Tony Garner on 01706 214340, tony@vivapr.co.uk
