TD-Info Talks - In Conversation with Andy Start
2026-03-18 14:30 - 16:00 UTC | Virtual – MS Teams
​Andy joined the UK Ministry of Defence from his role as CEO of Capita Public Service, one of the largest strategic suppliers to UK government. Trained as an engineer, he spent the first decade of his career as a designer and programme manager in the space business; later moving into organisations such as Airbus, BAE Systems and Harris Tactical Radio.
As the interim National Armaments Director (NAD), a position created as part of Defence Reform, Andy established the National Armaments Director Group, bringing together the teams responsible for developing, delivering sustaining, housing and harbouring the UK’s ‘national arsenal’ and defence estate. Using his experience as DE&S CEO, Andy’s role ensured a smooth stand-up of the group whilst recruitment for the permanent appointment took place. With the permanent NAD now appointed, Andy is remaining to support him as Deputy NAD for the first few months of his tenure.
Join us on the 18th March at 1430 for a discussion on career navigation, the future of the NAD, and what lays ahead for Defence more widely!
