The managing director of a personnel provider which specialises in sourcing candidates for roles in the defence sector said the business is "excited about opportunities we have in the pipeline and beyond" after achieving 300 per cent growth in turnover over the past seven years.
M&E Global, which is based in Stourbridge, said it has reported double-digit increases year-on-year since 2021, resulting in almost half a billion dollars in turnover for the last seven years, driven by high-profile contract wins.
The company's contracted workforce has grown by 89 per cent in five years in specialised sectors including equipment maintenance, supply and logistics and transportation.
M&E Global now provides more than 1,400 personnel to the likes of Amentum, known for advanced engineering and innovative technology services, and General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), a global specialist in tracked and wheeled military equipment.
"Sourcing and recruiting candidates for specialised roles in the defence sector is challenging, particularly with additional obstacles such as Brexit and the need for increased HR support," said managing director Gordon Woodward. "Our expertise ensures military forces can manage their sites, vehicles and equipment effectively.
"As the European defence sector continues to expand, we are focused on leveraging our expertise to meet the evolving needs of the market."
Having started with providing personnel to sites in Germany, M&E Global has expanded its footprint across Europe, the Middle East and Asia and now also provides several clients with support services for vehicle and plant equipment.
The company has now established key operations in the UK, Poland and Romania.
Woodward added: "Looking ahead, we're excited about the opportunities we have in the pipeline and beyond. The industry is undergoing significant transformation, driven by new technological advancements and shifting geopolitical dynamics.
"As these changes continue to unfold, we're focused on ensuring that we remain agile and responsive to the needs of the market and our customers."
