| Brigadier Jeff Little OBE Joins G3 Systems on retirement from the Army |
| |
Royston, Herts –Jeff Little has joined G3 Systems after a long, successful
and varied career in the regular British Army spanning some 33 years. A
military logistician by trade, he has seen active service during the Northern
Ireland campaign, commanded his squadron on operations during the First Gulf
War in 1990/91 and led his regiment during the hostage crisis in Bosnia in
1995. He has also served on tours of duty in Hong Kong with the Gurkha
Transport Regiment (now the Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment), Gibraltar,
the Balkans, Malta, Nepal, Turkey and the USA. His mission in industry will
be to establish a brand new operating division within the G3 Systems
management structure. This new entity will be known as Engineering Management
Services (EMS) which will seek to open up new markets and new business
opportunities for the Company. High on his list of priorities is the desire
to penetrate the expanding UK resilience and security domain. Jeff has
recently studied the relatively new science of 'emergency planning and disaster
management' at Coventry University so he is well versed in the issues surrounding
complex emergencies and large scale disasters. This work is closely linked to
IAP's (G3 Systems parent company) contingency and disaster relief expertise. Jeff
has recently been appointed to the chair of the Institute of Civil Defence and
Disaster Studies (ICDDS). He is a member of the Royal United Services Institute
(RUSI), President of the Bagshot Concert Band, has recently completed an MBA
with the Open University and has now been appointed as the Honorary Colonel
of the Army's Catering Support Regiment based at Grantham.
Little's last appointment in the Services was as the Director of The Royal Logistic
Corps based in Surrey. His Corps forms the backbone of deployed logistic support to
Land Forces and equates to some 16% of the strength of the regular Army. Its skills
range from supply and distribution through to pioneer support, from specialist
transport to explosive ordnance disposal and from fuel supply to chefs. He coined
the ethos of the 'fighting logistician, fighting logistics through' to highlight
the changed situation on the modern asymmetric battlefield where there are no
'rear areas' and the threat is omni-directional and multi-facetted. His broad logistic
knowledge will assist G3 Systems to understand the complex operating environment in
which contemporary Land Forces are required to fight. His previous experience as
the Director of the Defence Catering Group (now part of the Commodities Cluster) and
as an Integrated Project Team leader at Abbey Wood will also broaden the Company's
portfolio across its core business of Expeditionary Campaign Infrastructure (ECI) and
specialist containerised solutions. Prior to leading his Corps, he counts his most
enjoyable time as leading the Combat Support Vehicles Light IPT (now designated as
the SUV IPT) and setting up the Defence Vehicle Dynamics (DVD) military motor show
which has grown in size and shape every year since its move to the Millbrook Proving
Grounds.
Outside of work, Jeff's interests include walking, military history, the fire service,
short story writing, public speaking and teaching the game of Mah Jongg. He is married
to Sally who is a training and development consultant based near Guildford. Jeff will
operate from the G3 Systems head office in Royston.
