AVON doesn't talk much but recently, when it does, the news is positive. I like that.

I wish some of ADVFN's boards were like that, LOL

Avon Protection plc

("Avon")



Avon awarded UK Ministry of Defence General Service Respirator contract worth up to £38m



CBRN respirators for all branches of the UK's armed forces to be supplied from Avon's Melksham facility, boosting UK's sovereign CBRN protection capability.



We are pleased to announce that Avon Protection has won the tender for the continued supply of the General Service Respirator ("GSR") and associated in service support for the UK Ministry of Defence ("MoD").



Avon has been supplying the MoD with GSR masks since 2018 and this new contract award will enable Avon to continue to help protect the lives of people serving in the UK Armed Forces, sustaining the UK's domestic CBRN protection production capability.



The contract, over four years, with five further 12-month option periods is valued at up to £38 million.



Jos Sclater, Chief Executive Officer at Avon Protection plc, commented:



"We are very proud to have won this competitive tender with the UK MoD and to continue supporting the UK's objectives of providing the highest quality, most reliable and trusted protection equipment for the UK's service men and women.



As we have seen with the reported deployment of chemical agents in Ukraine and in other recent conflicts, the highest grade CBRN protection is critical to operational capability for warfighters in the evolving reality of near-peer, hybrid warfare.



This award is strategically important for Avon. It demonstrates our continued technological leadership in CBRN respiratory protection and provides a strong foundation for our UK business over the medium and long term. We look forward to continuing to provide the UK with a world-leading sovereign capability in CBRN protection from our facility in Melksham and developing new technologies which will provide unparalleled protection for those who defend our nation."

EQMC increases stake to 16%

Yep. "NATO will not expand one inch eastwards" - Secretary of State James Baker 1991. Expanded 1,000 miles instead, amidst endless provocation to further the MIC's forever war. US even weaponised the US$, so that hegemony looks done for too, as it
no longer deserves "reserve currency" status.
Shooting, foot, own?

Reasonable?

[napoleon 14th] 25/4/2024 17:34

gp - more Toryfart Russophobia IMO.
Putin has been the most reasonable of players in this US-led proxy war.

Putin has deployed chemical weapons. We need gas masks now.

I already own 2 companies - SMDS and TYMN - currently subject to bids from the US. This one must be a possible too, given that a high proportion of its sales and production take place there. LSE seems to be in a bit of a death spiral with the Government uninterested and not inclined to do anything about it.

Or perhaps that just some of the increases in defence spending worldwide will head their way

Clear of £12 level nowThere will be rumours of it being acquired next

Russia’s frontline gains are partly being driven by the use of chemical weapons. As Bob Seely MP puts it, “the use of a low-level chemical weapon - CS gas - is becoming prevalent along the Ukrainian front lines. They don’t have the correct gas masks. Just like the lack of ammunition, it is killing Ukrainians and endangering them, and ultimately, wider European security.”

We can help with this. Britain is the leading developer and manufacturer of gas marks. It cannot be beyond the wit of the West to get these top-quality masks to the frontlines in Ukraine. As former defence secretary Ben Wallace told me today, “for decades Britain has produced gas masks for many countries. We should be able to lean into this challenge with a significant donation from our own factories”.

Long way to go on these
