On this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Horsell’s director and principal consultant, Drew Horsell, and professionalisation manager at KBR, Jon Westerland, to talk about how the two companies collaborate to deliver value to the nation’s defence sector.

Horsell explains why he decided to leave the military and establish his own business, how he ensures he is recruiting the right people, and why effective communication is so critical for defence industry SMEs.
