In a significant development for the engineering and defense sectors, Quest Global, the largest independent engineering services firm, has announced an expansion of its partnership with Babcock International. This collaboration, which marks the beginning of its third year, positions Quest Global as a trusted provider within the naval nuclear sector and critical infrastructure projects in the United Kingdom.

As part of this enhanced commitment, Quest Global is investing in the development of talent in essential areas such as naval architecture, power distribution, and decommissioning processes. This initiative not only reinforces the company’s dedication to nurturing engineering talent in the UK but also aligns with the strategic objectives of the Growth Alliance Plymouth, aiming to bolster local capabilities.

Rob Vatter, Executive Chairman of Quest Global, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, “This relationship reflects our shared ambition to achieve transformative engineering outcomes, stimulate innovation, and make a substantial contribution to employment and national security in the UK.” He added, “By solidifying our commitment, we are proud to support Babcock International while enhancing local capabilities and creating long-term value.”

Since its initial engagement in July 2023, Quest Global has been providing vital engineering services to Babcock’s naval nuclear sector. With this expanded collaboration, Quest continues to serve as a key partner that allows Babcock to concentrate on its core operations while ensuring project delivery runs smoothly.

Mark Prince, the Director of Nuclear Engineering at Babcock, voiced confidence in the expanded collaboration, indicating that the previous successes have established strong trust in Quest’s ability to deliver value. “The ongoing contribution of Quest Global bolsters our delivery capabilities in the naval nuclear domain and beyond, enabling us to focus on our mission of safeguarding national interests,” Prince remarked.

As this collaboration progresses into a more ambitious phase, it remains firmly aligned with UK strategic direction, operational delivery, and support for key national initiatives.
