Symetrica is proud to announce that its Managing Director; Geraint Dermody has joined CBRN UK as Vice Chair from 1st December.
CBRN-UK members have the shared aim of providing capabilities that will reduce the likelihood of a CBRN attack and that will, in the event of an attack, provide the means for an effective response that minimises harm to individuals and the infrastructure.
CBRN activities include arms control, preventing supply, deterrence, elimination, disablement and protection. Although some capabilities are used in more than one of these activities, CBRN-UK members generally, but not exclusively, focus on protection in the defence, security and resilience sectors and supply capabilities that mitigate or neutralise:
- the use or threatened use of a CBRN weapon or device by state or non-state actors;
- hazards arising from deliberate damage to CBRN related facilities; or
- the accidental release into the environment or the deliberate misuse of a CBRN industrial material.
Symetrica’s Managing Director; Geraint Dermody said, “I am very pleased to have been elected to join the CBRN UK team and look forward to working with many industry experts to understand how we can work more effectively together. My main aim will be to help the members deliver new, innovative capabilities to the market.
