Day 1 of DSEI UK has set the tone for an exciting week ahead, and ubloquity is proud to be right at the heart of it. We’re here alongside our partners at PING Group, represented by Jonny McKinney, Aidan O’Hagan, and Rick Atherton, as we connect, collaborate, and highlight innovation within the defence and aerospace sector.
A Huge Thank You
We would like to extend our gratitude to Leslie Orr, Gary Kerr, Jamie McCloskey, Craig Mullan, Una McCallan, and the one and only Glen McMahon from the Department for Business and Trade for their ongoing support and commitment to helping businesses like ours thrive on the global stage.

Northern Ireland Represented in Force
This year’s DSEI has seen incredible momentum, with Invest Northern Ireland ensuring that companies from home are here en masse. Following the UK Ministry of Defence announcement on GOV.UK earlier this week, the stage is perfectly set for businesses across Northern Ireland to showcase how we can strengthen and support the aerospace and defence industries.

Celebrating Thought Leaders
We were also delighted to connect with Nichola Bates and Phil Quinn, two thought leaders driving transformational investments across the sector. Their vision and leadership continue to inspire the innovation and growth that makes events like DSEI such a crucial platform.

Off to a Flying Start
With strong partnerships, new opportunities, and a thriving Northern Ireland presence, DSEI UK 2025 is already shaping up to be a milestone event. ubloquity is excited to play its part in showcasing how our technology and collaborations can help push the sector forward.
Stay tuned for more updates as the week unfolds!
