Barum & Dewar is pleased to announce the appointment of Simon George, Director of 5C Consulting Ltd, as a Specialist Business Winning Advisor for the Defence Sector. The experienced campaigner will now support our further growth, building on our success and heritage in the sector over the last 20 years.

With extensive experience in Defence, Simon’s 18 year military career culminated in senior procurement roles before his transition to industry in 2008 with senior business development roles at BAE Systems and Drumgrange Ltd. Following 3 years at Elbit Systems UK as the BD Director Land Systems, he has since established his own consultancy working across a number of defence domains.

Barum & Dewar Managing Director, David Frame, said, “A previous client of Barum & Dewar, Simon has a deep understanding of our business, how we work, our values and the service we provide for our customers. Looking to the future we see the further digital transformation of defence forces giving rise to many new opportunities and together with our extensive expertise internally at Barum & Dewar, Simon will provide focus and direction to allow us to capitalise on this.”

Simon George, commented, “Barum & Dewar’s track record in the critical Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation domain for defence programmes is second to none. It was an honour to be invited onto the team to see how we can further capitalise on the successes of their current contracts and build better and long-lasting strategic partnerships across the MoD and Industry.”
