MARSHALL RE-FOCUSES LAND CAPABILITY INTO ONE ENTITY

Cambridge, 4th December 2008: Marshall of Cambridge is re-focussing its land systems subsidiaries to better support its land and joint systems customers worldwide.

The new entity called Marshall Land Systems will initially bring together Marshall Specialist Vehicles which provides integrated shelter and vehicle borne solutions such as field hospitals and ground control stations; Marshall Vehicle Engineering which provides protected logistics based on crew and load protection; and Marshall Systems Design Group, which works across the company on project development and on rapid solutions to urgent operational requirements. A Project and Programme management capability will be added as a stand alone organization.

Underpinning all these areas is a customer capability support organisation. The customer support team will provide assistance to understand capability needs from conception to final disposal and recycling and where appropriate replacement and for capabilities covering Marshall’s and other companies' products.

Marshall Land Systems will draw on the strengths of its sister companies within the Marshall Group for whole fleet management, and consulting. It will also be able to deploy the Group’s technical expertise in diesel engine maintenance and fitting, low voltage electrical issues, hydraulics, mechanical handling and electronics.

Commenting on the changed emphasis Peter Callaghan CEO said, “We have decided to reorganise to better focus ourselves on our customers whilst at the same time allowing them to better understand what we are about. It is about helping our customers around the world, and indeed closer to home, realise the skills and capabilities that Marshall Land Systems can deploy to assist them in the increasingly difficult operational situations we all face. We have not ruled out acquisitions to boost this capability.”

Marshall Land Systems will be headquartered in Cambridge where the protected workspace activity will be centred, with operations in Mildenhall where the protected logistics solutions are provided and Petersfield, which is the centre of excellence for providing capability development and urgent operational requirements. The project management organisation will be tasked with managing programmes which work across more than one division of Marshall LS or involve external partners.
