Astute Group

As valued members of the British Business Group Abu Dhabi, Astute Group continues to strengthen its position across the Gulf States as a trusted supply-chain and technology partner to the defence, aerospace and space sectors.

Astute’s participation at World Defense Show in Riyadh (Stand H4-G5) reflects its ongoing commitment to Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC defence ecosystem. As part of the event, Mark Shanley, Director of Group Marketing, will contribute to a panel alongside industry leaders from Saudi Arabian Military Industries, KPMG, L3Harris and Aselsan. The discussion focused on practical approaches to localising and scaling production, drawing on real-world experience of building resilient, internationally aligned defence supply chains.

With more than 35 years of experience, Astute supports programmes from early design through to sustained production, helping regional organisations navigate challenges such as component availability, obsolescence, counterfeit risk and compliance with international defence standards. Acting as a technology gateway, Astute provides assured access to authorised, genuine products from more than 150 global technology lines, giving customers confidence in both performance and long-term availability.

For British and international companies looking to engage with Gulf defence programmes, Astute offers a proven route to market. By combining authorised distribution, disciplined supply-chain management and deep regional understanding, the company supports localised production while aligning with the expectations of global defence primes and regulators alike. Members of the British Business Group Abu Dhabi seeking a reliable partner to support secure electronics supply, technology introduction or long-term programme confidence are encouraged to connect with Astute Group to explore potential collaboration.
