UNIPART PROVIDES supply chain, advanced manufacturing, and operational logistics expertise, while KBR has defence pedigree and global infrastructure capability, while IBM provides technology, digital, and data frameworks. 

Team ORION aims to offer a sovereign capability greater than the sum of its parts projecting a collective identity anchored in national service, institutional trust, and long-term delivery confidence.

Unipart managing director commercial Jim Hartshorne, says: “Team ORION represents a pivotal shift from what our individual businesses have accomplished to how we will collectively deliver mission-critical support better than the rest. Unipart’s established history in executing high-stakes operational transitions, proves we know how to handle complex, zero-fail environments.

“By uniting our deep commercial logistics expertise with the domain-specific pedigree of KBR and the digital innovation of IBM, we are providing the MoD with a sovereign, resilient partner capable of securing UK supply chains against global crises.”
