About Page
For over 25 years, The Shephard Group has been providing high-quality business intelligence to the aerospace and defence market, through a combination of magazines, online news services, handbooks and global events. Particularly well known within the helicopter, unmanned vehicles, defence electronics, military airpower and civil aviation markets, The Shephard Group is poised to expand into new sectors and provide new offerings to ensure that we best serve our global market as a leading supplier of business intelligence.
The Shephard Group is a global company. In 2008, we operated in Oman, Australia (where we delivered the largest helicopter exhibition in the region), Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and Belgium. Of course, the UK is very important to us, and our appointment as the organisers of the official conference for Defence Equipment & Support is a reflection of our excellent relationship with the Ministry of Defence.
The Shephard Group is proud to be part of the aerospace and defence community; our goal is to spend the next 25 years building on the trust that so many people have placed in our products.
