About Defence Buyer

Capitalising on the continued growth and success of our 30+ year tenure in the security and fire industry comes our latest publication, International Defence Buyer. The defence sector is one of the largest continual sources of technological innovation in the world and we will be covering every product, solution and legislation as they happen with news stories, exclusive features and commentary, product case studies and success stories from some of the leading names in the industry. 

International Defence Buyer will be the authoritative industry guide, containing diverse and engaging editorial content. We understand the trends and issues facing the international defence marketplace and the professionals that serve it, so our aim is to identify all solutions available. Each issue will be a culmination of the ever-changing defence market landscape, covering topics that span all three theatres: land, sea and air.

As we further our reach into the digital world, our newsletter distribution, website news and social media helps to keep our readers informed on a day-to-day basis with up-to-date news including appointments, acquisitions, new products and event news. Connect, follow, like and comment to stay connected and be part of the discussion.
