Training solutions provider Draken was presented with the prestigious Award to Industry 2025 at the Coachmakers’ Charity Fundraising Banquet at Mansion House in London on Monday 9th June. This annual award recognises outstanding professional achievements from innovative companies in our affiliated industries.
Established in Lakeland, Florida in 2011, Draken provides highly advanced, technology-led training solutions that enable military personnel to react effectively in a degraded battlespace. Its services are delivered by skilled professionals operating in multiple countries who work closely with customers and industry partners to build world-class training capabilities that protect national security and personnel on the front line.
Master Stephen Fitz-Gerald, who presented the award, said: “Draken works with leading technologies and a varied fleet of aircraft to deliver complex, highly regulated adversary training across land, sea and air. I am sure you will agree this is an extremely poignant and well-deserved award given the dangerous and volatile world we live in.”
Draken CEO Nic Anderson, who accepted the award, said: “It is an incredible honour to stand before you tonight at this Charity Banquet. I am deeply humbled and grateful to accept this prestigious award on behalf of the entire Draken team. This award, recognizing innovation in our industry, is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of everyone at Draken. It reflects our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible and continuously striving for excellence.”
