At Hyde Group, we believe the future of engineering is driven by innovation and strengthened through collaboration. That’s why we’re proud to support the North West Regional Defence & Security Cluster (NWRDSC).
The NWRDSC is a powerful initiative positioning the North West as a centre of excellence in defence and security. By working closely with regional partners, the cluster is attracting investment, fostering innovation and unlocking new opportunities for growth across the sector.
Chris Wiles, Business Development Manager at Hyde Aero Products division, has been seconded to the cluster and dedicates one day a week to supporting its development, contributing to member engagement, strategic planning and event coordination.
Recently, Chris has played a key role in the cluster’s public engagements, speaking at a regional event in Burnley and chairing a panel discussion during the NWRDSC’s first anniversary celebration in Liverpool. His involvement is helping to strengthen collaboration across the regional supply chain and the broader defence ecosystem.
As a founding member of the cluster, Hyde Aero Products division is also represented on the steering board by its Joint Managing Director, Anthony Hammond, who plays an active role in shaping its strategic direction.
