Boeing has more than 3,000 UK employees and spends £2 billion a year in the UK supply chain with access to 7,000 suppliers, including 3,500 SMEs. This move underlines its commitment to increasing bid opportunities for UK suppliers even further.
Richard Lock, Head of Supply Chain for Boeing Defence UK: “Boeing is excited to be joining the JOSCAR supply chain community, which allows us to better engage with our existing network of suppliers and SMEs across the aerospace and defence industry in the UK and beyond, as well as identify new suppliers.”
JOSCAR’s interactive interface provides a complete picture of suppliers when needed, based on the comprehensive questionnaire that all JOSCAR-registered suppliers must complete.
Colin Maund, CEO at Hellios, said: “We are delighted to welcome Boeing to the JOSCAR community and look forward to equipping them with the insights needed to better manage their supplier risk and deliver confidence within their supply chain.
"They will receive immediate benefit in becoming a member of this thriving community by gaining instant access to the 7,000 suppliers already registered and deemed ‘fit for business’ on the system.”
