Week 2, done!

The Dream Marketing Defence & Aerospace Roadshow has come to the end of its second week on the road, and it’s been a pretty good one for the Sarsen team.

QinetiQ, GE Aviation, Cobham Mission Systems and General Dynamics have all played host to the Dream Marketing vehicle, and we’ve come away with some great follow ups to do next week.


Tim, Robbie and Nigel have spent the last 2 weeks discussing the very latest embedded COTS FPGA, PowerPC, ARM, Intel, video processing, high-speed data recording, data acquisition and test technology solutions with visitors to the Roadshow, and are looking forward to sharing even more next week, when they travel to BAE and Airbus, Rolls Royce, L3 Comms, Agusta Westland and Yeovil College.

If you are at any of the sites next week and want to find out more about the Roadshow and how it might be of interest to you please drop me an email – LauraB@sarsen.net and I’ll give you all the inside information….

Have a great weekend!
