We’re pleased to announce this year’s Tom Nevard Memorial Competition is taking place from Sunday 04 – Friday 09 August at Shrivenham Defence Academy.

Involving more apprentices than ever before, the Tom Nevard Memorial Competition is a week-long competition which tests the craftmanship and creativity of apprentices within the Ministry of Defence (MOD). It challenges teams of apprentices to design and build defence-related products, encouraging team working and developing core competencies, while cultivating engineering flair and ability.

This experience is available to all apprentices on a DE&S Entry Talent Centre of Expertise scheme, including Corporate Services Group, Engineering, Finance and Accounting, Project Delivery, and more.
