HMGCC Information

HMGCC, founded in 1938 by the UK Government, acts as the engineering specialists at the heart of the UK’s national security. For over 80 years, we've been providing the expertise that keeps the country safe. We work with the national security community, UK government, academia, the defence sector, private industry partners and international allies to bring engineering ingenuity to the UK's national security mission, by creating tools and technologies that drive us ahead and help protect the nation. Ours is a world of pioneering products, custom one-offs and very special builds - where ideas and ingenuity are supported, developed and expanded to help protect the UK and its interests in this ever-evolving, digital age. Our teams specialise in a variety of fields, from high-end manufacturing to AI and software development. We promote a creative approach to problem solving, and encourage our expert engineers to deliver high-tech products, often featuring design and engineering work of incredible complexity. While our products can be tiny in size, their importance to the security of the country is immense. Our story began in 1938, on the cusp of the Second World War, but ever since, we have been designing, building and delivering exceptional technology, often at the cutting-edge of what is possible, for the UK and partners.
