Our purpose

Our purpose

Marshall’s story is one of service to our customers, our communities, our people and our planet.

Our people share a strong sense of purpose and pride in our engineering excellence. Since 1909, we have been driven to do the right thing, and to solve problems that others walk away from.

Customers

We apply the same exacting standards of innovation and quality to everything we do—whether the job is keeping aircraft airworthy, helping a customer take a product from concept to reality, or manufacturing components for flagship defence programmes.

Building on our hard-earned reputation for engineering excellence, we are proud to work shoulder to shoulder with an incredibly diverse range of customers including armed forces, humanitarian organisations, and the world’s largest aerospace and defence contractors.

From designing Concorde’s iconic nose to preparing entire fleets of aircraft for entry into service, we are proud of the part we play in helping our customers succeed - often in the most challenging of circumstances.


Communities

Wherever we are in the world, we work hard to be a force for good in our local communities, from creating employment and boosting exports to inspiring young people to pursue careers in aviation.

To help our people support and fundraise for the causes they care about, we also provide a formal employee volunteering scheme, supported by flexible working patterns.


People

No matter which part of our business they belong in, Marshall’s people are constantly striving to deliver outstanding results for our customers.

This shared pursuit of excellence by everyone from the newest apprentice to the leadership team gives us with the momentum and courage to adapt and meet the challenges of an ever changing world.

We are enormously proud to have trained over 21,000 apprentices over the course of our history, and we are committed to creating more extraordinary opportunities for young people - building a pipeline of talent for the future.


Planet

Through our Ambition 2030 programme we put sustainability at the heart of everything we do.

We are committed to building climate resilience, ensuring a healthy environment for our employees and communities, and using and developing sustainable products and services.

In the last few years alone, we have received ISO 14001 certification for environmental management across all our core businesses and incorporated solar PV installations, LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC systems, air source heat pumps, EV chargers and water-saving equipment into new facilities.
