Meet AWE at DPRTE 2025

AWE is pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at DPRTE, the UK’s leading defence procurement and supply chain event.

It’s been over 100 days since we partnered with adoption and trauma recovery charity, Parents and Children Together (PACT). In that short time, AWE colleagues have learnt about the vital services the charity provides and the positive impact it has on those it supports, while arranging and taking part in several volunteering and fundraising activities.

Delivering a secure future for all
