Rooted in the North East of England, we are proud to invest in the region’s future and to act as a force for good within our community.

Our Social Value Strategy is built on five pillars: championing regional growth, developing critical skills, supporting the defence community, nurturing our people, and protecting the planet. We build on our approach to creating opportunity, overcoming adversity, building resilience and deploying engineering excellence to deliver a ‘People Advantage’ in our communities.

our social value strategy

We are proud to support the region in a number of ways through the five pillars of our social value strategy.

Championing the North East

We have a proud heritage of engineering at Armstrong Works and we aim to attract and retain talent in the North East by working with local partners to drive economic growth, investment and innovation across the region.

Developing the next-generation of skills for critical industries

With our world-renowned engineering capability, we strive to support future generations of people in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths (STEAM) by sharing our knowledge and breaking down barriers.

Promoting opportunities for veterans, service-leavers and disadvantaged communities

We are committed to supporting the defence community both in active duty and at home. We work with a number of charities and organisations that provide support to disadvantaged service personnel, military veterans and their families.

Nurturing our employees

People are at the heart of what we do. We are honoured to hold the Gold award for the Employer Recognition Scheme and are proud to welcome early career and experienced professionals from wide ranging backgrounds. Having earned Gold for the Better Health at Work Award, and with a new initiative to reach Continuing Excellence.

Protecting our planet

The environment remains one of our main priorities and we are committed to reducing the negative climatic effects of manufacturing. Alongside this, we have developed STEAM activities with an environmental focus and launched an internal Environmental Action Group.

The Defence Community

We are committed to supporting the defence community and link our activities to our company values.

With a focus on people, we work with charities and other organisations which provide support to disadvantaged service personnel, military veterans and their families.

We believe in creating possibilities, not limits. We take special pride in supporting our Armed Forces in their personal and team endeavours. Team work, hard work and integrity is important to us and so we are proud supporters of a number of Armed Forces sporting teams including the Royal Engineers Field Gun Team.

Armed Forces Covenant

We are honoured to hold the Gold Award for the Armed Forces Covenant. No members of the Armed Forces Community should face a disadvantage. In recognition of their services, Pearson Engineering is proud to have pledged our support by signing the Armed Forces Covenant, supporting the community through fundraising activities, skills sharing and opportunities.

STEAM Ambassadors

We are proud of the world-renowned engineering capability in the North East and are driven to inspire a new generation of engineers.

We are active supporters of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) initiatives. As STEAM Ambassadors, our team dedicates time to sharing their own stories to raise the aspirations of people within our community and to create opportunities.

KEV TO SUPPORT / SHOW

Pearson Engineering Minefield Breaching

Pearson Engineering's minefield breaching range includes powerful tools to move through even the most challenging terrain to defeat sub-surface explosive ordnance.

Our battle proven minefield breaching products provide armoured vehicles with the capability to defeat anti-tank mines. Whether intended for deliberate breaching or to support ‘freedom of manoeuvre’ for fighting vehicles, our blast-resistant ploughs give Commanders the option to move unimpeded and in doing so, maintain a battlefield advantage.

Pearson Engineering Earth Loading

Pearson Engineering's earth loading range includes heavy-duty yet lightweight earth moving buckets. Each are designed specifically for vehicle type and in accordance with the needs of the end-user.

Our earth loading capability delivers a powerful digging and carrying ability, enabling armoured vehicles to transport materials, clear obstacles, dig and fill trenches and to assist in construction tasks. Our loaders can be provided with varying degrees of function and therefore complexity to support different mission sets.

Pearson Engineering Interrogation

Pearson Engineering's interrogation capability includes a nimble, dexterous and accurate arm suitable for investigating ground sign and other suspicious indicators during Counter-IED route proving operations.

Our interrogation capability is rooted in providing additional capability for Counter-IED and Route Proving operations. To supplement physical detection from ground engaging roller systems, our interrogation arm can be used to further understand the nature of threats and to identify where risks may be present outside of the path of the roller.

Pearson Engineering Obstacle and Earth Moving

Pearson Engineering's obstacle and earth moving range includes dedicated and multi-purpose blades which are designed to create and defeat deliberate obstacles and to prepare the ground for tactical operations.

Our obstacle and earth moving products include general purpose and multi-purpose dozer blades, designed specifically to meet the needs of different mission sets. Our blades are designed to be tough, robust and lightweight, enabling a wide range of obstacle and earth moving activities whilst minimising the impact on the vehicle’s mobility.

Pearson Engineering Obstacle Marking

Pearson Engineering's obstacle marking capability provides armoured vehicles with the capability to mark safe lanes and hazardous areas during mine breaching and clearing missions.

Typically used alongside Pearson Engineering’s Route Opening Mine Plough, Surface Clearance Device or Route Proving rollers, our highly configurable obstacle marking systems support battlefield mobility by quickly and reliably marking safe lanes and the edge of hazardous areas.

Pearson Engineering Excavation

Pearson Engineering's range of excavator manipulator arms provide powerful earth moving capability to combat engineering vehicles. Designed to be fitted with a variety of attachments, our products can be used to move obstacles such as tree abatis as well as to dig and move earth.

Our excavation capability is designed to support combat engineer operations such as digging, demolishing, removing obstacles and filling trenches to support Area Access and Area Denial.

Pearson Engineering Vehicle Integration Kit

Pearson Engineering's products are designed to provide armoured vehicles with the ability to rapidly adapt to their mission, to overcome challenges to mobility and to deny mobility and momentum for others. Our vehicle integration kits provide 'quick connect' capability for vehicles which require exceptional flexibility and our direct fit interfaces provide enhanced manoeuvre support to fighting vehicles.

Our approach is often described as a ‘Swiss Army Knife’ in that host vehicles can be adapted to take on various combat engineering roles, or to overcome challenges to mobility. Integration of our products with the vehicle is made via a Pearson Engineering Direct Fit Interface or Pearson Engineering Quick Connect. The most suitable integration method depends on the mission requirements and vehicle capabilities. Our engineers will work closely with end-users and vehicle manufacturers to define the most appropriate route to minimise the impact on the vehicle and to maximise operational capability. Decisions are often based on hydraulic and electrical availability as well as the required role of the vehicle. Our integration kits are used to fit products that are designed to enhance armoured vehicle agility, tactical flexibility and adaptability. They are designed to be configurable and to deliver ‘freedom of manoeuvre’ to operations.

Pearson Engineering Recovery Capability

Pearson Engineering's recovery capability includes robust and powerful earth anchors and multi-purpose dozer blades designed to hold a vehicle static for winching operations.

Our recovery capability includes a range of dedicated and multi-purpose blades which are primarily designed to support the recovery of other vehicles and for moving of heavy obstacles. A powerful ground-engaging blade sinks into the earth to hold a vehicle static, acting as the force against which the obstacle can be pulled. The same blade can be articulated to provide some obstacle and earth moving capability.
