Engaging Young People in STEM

Serco is supporting the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) by co-sponsoring its Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths programme.

Over the course of the sponsorship, the services company will donate £10,000 to enable the museum to engage with over 25,000 children in STEM activities annually.

Welcoming over 1.3 million visitors per year, the NMRN helps to tell the story of how the Royal Navy and our naval heritage shaped Britain’s history and communities.

Serco has been supporting the Royal Navy for over 25 years, providing engineering and asset management services at several Royal Navy bases, including tugs and support vessels that enable RN ships to fulfil their missions.

These bases are also home to the museums, which are part of the collective including the Fleet Air Arm museum at RNAS Yeovilton and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

With decades of experience in engineering and asset management careers, Serco teams will provide hands on support by sharing their knowledge with the next generation at STEM events throughout the year.

Our team has a wealth of experience to pass on to the next generation and help to inspire them about future STEM career opportunities in the Royal Navy and industry partners.

Doug Umbers, managing director of Serco’s UK Defence business and Lt Cdr Elliott Brown, RN STEM Ambassador were joined by leaders from Serco’s Engineering and Asset management team and the NMRN at a meeting within the Historic Dockyard to celebrate the new partnership.

Umbers says: “I am excited to be part of this journey with the National Museum of the Royal Navy to engage young people from our local communities in STEM activities.

Our team has a wealth of experience to pass on to the next generation and help to inspire them about future STEM career opportunities in the Royal Navy and industry partners”.
