As an aerospace graduate with three years mechanical engineering experience at MBDA UK, Laura Parkes has routinely been a part of sustainability projects within the defence industry. Since completing her dissertation concerning hydrogen storage systems and its logistics within commercial aviation, her career has allowed her to have a direct effect on the impact of sustainability on MBDA’s future products.
Laura is excited to talk about the importance of sustainable design in the circular economy and the supply chain, and methods of assurance. Additionally, with experience in recycled materials analysis and manufacturing processes, she continues to look at how the defence industry will grow to meet the challenges of sustainability.
