Lockheed Martin has appointed a new chief executive who will lead its UK business from April this year.

Paul Livingston, currently vice president and group managing director of the company’s U.K. Rotary and Mission Systems business, will assume leadership of Lockheed Martin UK, a key strategic partner for the UK’s national defence and its supply chain, on 1 April.

This follows the decision by Peter Ruddock CB CBE to retire after five years in post. Ruddock, who has been with Lockheed Martin since 2011, will continue to support the company’s UK business activities to ensure a smooth transition until his retirement at the beginning of August.

Paul Livingston began his career as an engineering apprentice working in civil and military simulation and has since spent more than 30 years in the aerospace sector. Since joining Lockheed Martin, he has held a number of roles across the global corporation and established a record for delivery. As a director in the company’s aeronautics business he was responsible for liaising with the UK MOD for both F-35 and C-130J programmes. He also led the business capture activity for Ascent Flight Training, Lockheed Martin’s joint venture with Babcock, which provides the UK Military Flying Training System for all military aircrew.

In 2012, Livingston was appointed chief operating officer of Lockheed Martin Commercial Flight Training and following that role, became managing director for Ascent Flight Training. He became vice president and managing director for Lockheed Martin UK – Integrated Systems in January 2017.
