In this episode, Defence Connect Analyst and Editor, Steve Kuper is joined by Michael Hardy from KBR, Principal Partner of the Australian Defence Industry Awards, and two finalists in the Naval Business of the Year category: John Giffard of OPSTAR and Clint Thomas of Serco Defence.

The four discuss defence industry\u2019s response to the COVID pandemic and the way defence businesses of all sizes have pivoted to support the economic response and collaborated to support the Australian defence supply chain.

They also discuss the ways in which Giffard and Thomas have supported their respective businesses through the challenges, the immediate goals and what they believe set them apart from the competition for this year\u2019s awards.
