Boeing Defence UK Supports Maritime Event of the Summer

Boeing Defence UK is a proud sponsor of Seafarers UK’s exclusive Seafarers’ Midsummer Night Gala on 24 June. A subsidiary of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defence UK is helping to support the Gala which will see Kate Adie OBE speaking to more than 200 guests, including dignitaries from the Royal Navy, defence and shipping industries.

Michael Kurth, Managing Director of Boeing Defence UK, said: “We are very pleased to be making a contribution to what promises to be a wonderful fundraising event for the maritime community. We want to support Seafarers UK in their work to help people in need from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and other seafaring communities.”

The Gala will be held at the world famous Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London and the Boeing Defence UK Silent Auction will run throughout the evening. After a sumptuous three course dinner guests will have the opportunity to take part in a fantastic live auction and be entertained with a Shakespearean performance by some of the Globe’s performers

The Boeing Silent Auction will include privileged opportunities such as Ceremony of the Keys at Tower Bridge, a private tour of Parliament, a corporate box at Bath Rugby Club, a private London Eye capsule and a corporate day for 7 onboard a skippered 40ft Yacht.
