Supporting our community, making a difference.

We're incredibly proud that Astute's £51,700 donation to Isabel Hospice is helping support the compassionate care they provide to people living with life-limiting illnesses and their families across eastern Hertfordshire.

The donation could help fund vital services, including specialist clinical care, inpatient support, family and bereavement services, and care delivered directly to patients in their own homes.

Behind every service are individuals and families who benefit from the compassionate care Isabel Hospice provides every day.

We're delighted to play a part in supporting this important work.

Around 20% of the UK economy runs on space technology; internet banking, GPS, weather forecasting.
Most people never connect any of it to a satellite.

Jennifer Barry does.
She's a Senior Systems Engineer at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), the IET's Young Woman Engineer of the Year 2025, and she has represented the UK at the UN on space debris.

She joins episode 17 of The Astute Engineer to talk satellite engineering, the growing problem of orbital debris, AI in Earth observation, and why component shortages are hitting the space sector harder than most.

One line that stuck with us: "If you're a valuable engineer, you're a valuable engineer. There's room at the table."

Supply chains have never been more complex.

From geopolitical uncertainty and changing trade routes to growing customer expectations, keeping products moving takes a lot more than good planning. It takes collaboration.

In our latest Fireside episode, we sat down with three of Astute's operations leaders from the UK, Germany and Hong Kong to talk about what it really takes to keep global operations running smoothly, and how they're preparing for what's next.

We cover everything from adapting to disruption and improving global collaboration, all with one goal in mind: delivering the best possible service for our customers.

It's an honest conversation about the challenges the industry is facing today, the opportunities ahead, and why great operations teams are more important than ever.
