Team Fisher, the Capita-led consortium including Raytheon UK, Elbit Systems UK, Fujitsu, the University of Lincoln and several smaller British suppliers, has started 2022 by meeting its latest milestone in its 12-year programme to transform and modernise the Royal Navy’s shore-based training across 16 sites.

People is a key theme across all the three recently published reports on the Armed Forces. The Haythornthwaite Review, the Defence Command Paper (DCP23), and Defence Procurement report. Capita Defence is all about People – talent acquisition, training and talent management – and now, more than ever, is front and centre of an Armed Forces for the 22nd Century.

In this session, we brought together a panel of experts from across UK local authorities and Capita’s revenues and benefits services to discuss the current situation what local authorities are facing concerning revenue collections and what may need to change immediately and in the next few years to ensure collection levels and revenue income stays at constant or improved levels.

Team Fisher, the Capita-led consortium including Raytheon UK, Elbit Systems UK, Fujitsu, the University of Lincoln and several smaller British suppliers, which is modernising and transforming the Royal Navy and Royal Marines’ shore-based training has taken over the running of the Navy’s Maritime Composite Training System (MCTS) based at two Royal Navy locations - HMS Collingwood, Hampshire, and HMNB Devonport, Devon.
