Acres Engineering has delivered its first batch of specially designed, safety-critical products including an engine stand and driver's hatch trolley to support production of the Boxer armoured vehicles for the British Army by prime contractor RBSL. The Derbyshire manufacturer, which has a long-standing relationship with RBSL, is expanding its defence-related work and holds both King's Award for Enterprise and Armed Forces Gold Covenant status. The Boxer programme relies heavily on UK suppliers, with around 75% of each vehicle sourced domestically, supporting over 100 suppliers and 1,000 skilled jobs. Managing Director Luke Parker and a representative from RBSL expressed pride in the collaboration and its contribution to UK defence capabilities.
