Mishcon de Reya has advised Skyral on its landmark £88.6 million contract with Raytheon UK as part of the Omnia Training Consortium to deliver the British Army’s £2 billion Collective Training Transformation Programme.
The contract forms part of a major defence initiative aimed at transforming collective training for the British Army. The ACTS programme brings together 44 British businesses, including a significant number of start-ups and SMEs, and is expected to support around 400 jobs across the country, as well as create 100 apprenticeships.
Naomi Hulme, Co-founder and CEO of Skyral, commented:
"Skyral couldn’t have got this done without the Mishcon de Reya team. Toby, Raj and the team have been outstanding – balancing the need to advance our interests alongside finding commercially pragmatic solutions to complex problems. The team’s deep understanding of the defence sector and the dynamics at play between the consortium members was invaluable."
Toby McCrindle, Partner and Head of Defence & DeepTech at Mishcon de Reya, commented:
"This is a huge triumph for the UK’s defence industry, which has come under significant pressure in recent years. It has been a privilege to support Skyral over the last two years and this contract award is a testament to the team’s tenacity, spirit and talent."
The Mishcon de Reya team was led by Toby McCrindle, Partner and Head of Defence & DeepTech, with support from Raj Shah, Managing Associate.
