According to a blurb on the Defence Manufacturers Association website:
:The Company's mission is to help its clients to achieve their corporate, marketing and sales objectives. The Company provides professional services to major companies employing their own in-house PR and marketing teams and also smaller companies who have no dedicated specialists. The directors and principal consultants have an in-depth knowledge of liaison with procurement executives, MODs and governments world-wide. They also have practical experience of marketing and public relations in the defence industry and agencies.http://www.the-dma.org.uk/members/details.asp?Type=1&ID=1590
