A DEFENDER engineering firm has reported rapid growth and secured contracts worth £1.5 million.
Slipstream Design, based in Shipley, attributes its growth to several factors, including its involvement in NATO’s Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) project.
Sarah Gregory, commercial director at Slipstream Design, said: "We have always set ourselves ambitious growth targets, and expansion at this scale is never down to just one thing.
"The progress we’ve seen this year is a result of our consistency in customer delivery over the years and investing in our team in the same period, coupled with the opportunities resulting from the NATO DIANA accelerator programme."
The company has nearly doubled its turnover in the 2025-26 financial year and has delivered contracts for two new clients worth £1.5 million.
It employs 27 people and specialises in digital and radio frequency technologies.
Ms Gregory said: "In just two years, ASTRO®’s capabilities have advanced significantly.
"We now have a high-performance, software-defined RF module that allows an end user to adapt its function depending on the contested and congested radio environment."
Slipstream Design was founded in 2011.
