Cobham's values of Trust, Talent and Technology have driven us
from our launch in 1934 by Sir Alan Cobham, an aviation innovator,
to becoming a global leader in state-of-the-art aerospace and
defence systems.
Sir Alan worked tirelessly to make flying popular. His personal
dream was that 'one day there would be a landing ground in every
major town'. More than 75 years later, with airports commonplace,
that pioneering spirit thrives. We have 12,000 dedicated
professionals across five continents, producing world leading
products and solutions, generating revenues of over £1bn.
We have a long track record of raising successive generations of
innovators, pioneers and entrepreneurs, like Sir Alan, to be proud
of. But more than ever, in a world of accelerating change and
global competition, it is the talent we attract and encourage now
that will underwrite our future.
