Defence Secretary John Healey visited Buffalo Systems in Sheffield, highlighting the government's intention to prioritize investments in British defense firms. Ben Fogle, the owner, stated that the visit aimed to promote British manufacturing, especially in Yorkshire, amidst global instability.

He emphasized the necessity of domestic production capabilities. The potential for MOD contracts could facilitate Buffalo's expansion, which has already added 13 staff since last year's takeover. Healey affirmed the push for British firms in defense contracts, aiming to direct taxpayer support towards local jobs and innovation. He recognized Buffalo's role in supplying both military and leisure markets.
