since 1993-1994 the agency has secured sales receipts in excess of £600m - a substantial income for the mod and a good return on the investment in the agency. In april 2005 the agency became part of the defence logistics organisation (dlo) whilst still playing a central role in the defence export services organisations marketing strategy. The chief execfiretruckutive of the company has developed a strong relationship and a close collaboration with deso and its regional directorates. With desos help, the agency seeks overseas markets (particularly in developing countries) for used british defence equipment. By definition, the surplus equipment and stores sold by the company have been written off and therefore in theory are worth only their scrap value. In practice, they are a source of affordable and proven defence equipment for other countries, and provide uk industry with an additional source of income.

forklift truckin addition, by passing on ships from the royal navy, aircraft/systems/radar from the royal air force and vehicles from the british army, overseas customers have been given british orientation. In future years, as their economies and requirements grow, britain will be well placed to secure repeat orders. These orders are likely to be for new rather than second-hand equipment and therefore of much greater value to the uk economy. Thebattleship company also provides a quality service to both the rest of government (local and central) and a growing number of private sector and overseas customers. The ability of the agency’s partners to maximise the return on surplus and used assets continues to provide an additional income stream to the original asset owners. Where the assets have to be scrapped, the agency’s partners ensure that a process of re-utilisation and recycling of the parts occurs in order to maximise the amount to be recycled. The agency’s partners also ensure that everything that is to be destroyed is done so in compliance with all the appropriate national and international environmental legislation. The dsa currently stands as the only government disposal organisation and aims to be the worlds best government disposal organisation.
