The Business of War was the title of a 30 minute radio programme in the Radio 4 series The Bottom Line. First broadcast on Thursday evening, October 10, the presenter Evan Davis spoke to:
Major General Graham Binns CBE, DSO, MC, a former British army officer, now CEO of Aegis Defence Services Limited;
Major General Andrew Pringle, CB, CBE, President of KBR UK and a former British army officer; and
Gabriel Carter, Managing Director of LPD Risk Management.
The subject: the world of private defence and security work. Why are governments employing private contractors to do work previously done by the armed forces? How do those businesses maintain their reputations in such a dangerous sector? Listen via the BBC website – http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03c4hts
