Inzpire's 2025: our highlights from the year

As 2025 draws to a close, we're looking back on an action-packed year of growth, partnership and achievement at Inzpire.

During the year that we turned 20, we've accomplished a great deal: marking 10 years of support to the RAF's Exercise COBRA WARRIOR; establishing CASE JTAC as the first accredited mixed-reality JTAC simulator in the UK; advancing Exercise Sharpshooter to prepare naval forces for tomorrow's threats; delivering UAS training for the British Army; and attaining Assured Service Provider status for Cyber Incident Exercising.

Throughout the year, our teams have demonstrated expertise globally - from providing live flying instruction to the Qatari Qualified Weapons Instructor Course to advancing maritime autonomous capabilities for NATO at REPMUS. We've also continued our commitment to inspiring future STEM talent and delivered synthetic training for Chinook crews at RAF Odiham.

We were honoured to be recognised as the 4th best UK employer of veterans and to receive the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award for a second time.

As we welcome Jonny Smith as our new Managing Director, we look forward to building on these achievements and continuing to deliver for our customers in 2026.

A sincere thank you to our people, industry colleagues and partners who helped make it all possible. We hope you enjoy these highlights from 2025.
