Bath-based BMT Defence Services (BMT), a subsidiary of BMT Group, has announced the opening of a second office in Bath. Plymouth House on Monmouth Street will house the Norwegian logistics and support vessel (LSV) project team – a prestigious design contract BMT recently won in partnership with South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME).

BMT Defence Services managing director Muir Macdonald said: "We were fortunate to find suitable design studio space close to our Lower Bristol Road headquarters for this exciting project. Our growth in international projects has brought a further 40 people into the company over the last 12 months and I am delighted that we continue to attract the highest quality people to the industry."

As well as continuing to pursue contracts in both the UK and abroad, BMT has invested much time and effort to become an integrated member of the local community. With strong links into schools and universities, BMT is dedicated to supporting the development of key skills such as science, technology, engineering and maths.
