Look at the moves

Andrew McCartney (Whitespace co-founder) → CTO at Defence Holdings

Richard “Bertie” Bassett → VP Defence Programmes;

Lord Houghton → NED Chairman.

Add Project Ixian, additional defence AI projects, and Whitespace’s partnerships with the Army (IY Cohort 9), Google Cloud, NVIDIA (invite-only dinner), partnerships with the likes of Fujitsu, Rolls-Royce, and BP.

Could this be an MODaligned play, quietly assembling trusted tech talent and private companies to build sovereign AI infrastructure for defence and national security?

The timing, the calibre of individuals, and the highlevel collaborations suggest a coordinated strategy

integrating AI, cloud, and industrial capability to strengthen the UK’s defence posture.

Whether theory or fact, the pattern is clear - people, projects, and partnerships moving in lockstep, quietly shaping the future of UK defence technology.

Volume has been insane over the last 3 weeks, I’d be seriously surprised if we don’t see TR1’s by the end of next week. Especially as we hear from Lord Houghton and the direction of the company and future plans

Building Trusted AI in Defence: AADP Briefings by Whitespace and Google Cloud.

At Army HQ Andover today, Whitespace CEO Paul Jenkinson joined John Abel (Managing Director, Office of the CTO, Google Cloud) to brief Army Advanced Development Programme cohorts 8 and 9 - the Army’s “Changemakers”- on the growing role of AI in Defence.

Paul’s core message: AI automates tasks, not jobs. It strengthens military judgement and accelerates decision cycles - “AI will not replace military leaders, but military leaders using AI will replace those who don’t.”

Whitespace and EY are delivering AADP as a multi-year programme. For Cohort 9, Whitespace’s CollectiveAI platform will be embedded across classrooms, sprints and PMO workflows to provide:

✔️ Cited insights and decision support via referenced research and multimodal analysis

✔️ Standardised delivery with reusable templates, role-based sharing and auditable knowledge transfer

✔️ MOD-compliant security with cleared personnel, permissions, and robust data protection

✔️ Model flexibility, supporting Google Gemini and Gemma (including Gemini 2.5) alongside other LLMs and SLMs

Paul’s briefing highlighted:

🔶 Decision-centric thinking in denied or deceptive environments (“93% tank probability” + risk, mitigation and legal context)

🔶 An application-less future, turning raw intelligence, logistics and personnel data into actionable orders and plans

🔶 Trust and assurance: permissions, PII safeguards, ROE compliance, explainability, auditability, resilience, and protection against hallucination or adversarial manipulation

🔶 Defence-grade architecture: secure infrastructure, multi-agent coordination, temporal knowledge, quantitative optimisation, and decision support at operational and strategic levels.

John Abel underlined the pace of AI adoption across sectors, showcased real-world tools. He outlined what the £400M MOD–Google Cloud partnership means for the Army, including cloud foundations, access to Google capabilities, transition planning, and future opportunities.

Congratulations to Cohort 9 on today’s launch, and thanks to Cohort 8 for their continued engagement.

Whitespace looks forward to working with EY and the British Army to deliver trusted AI and real decision advantage.

Fragrant Prosperity Holdings Limited

("FPP" or the "Company")

Appointment of David Brown to newly formed FPP Investment Advisory Board

Fragrant Prosperity Holdings Limited ("FPP" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of David Brown to its newly formed Investment Advisory Board ("IAB"), a key strategic addition in support of the Company's fintech acquisition ambitions.

David is a recognised leader in fintech, digital payments, and AI-driven financial innovation. He brings deep industry expertise and a strong network to FPP's acquisition strategy.

David was an early pioneer in applying artificial intelligence and machine learning in financial services. As a founding director of Previse, one of the first companies to use AI to make supplier payments instant, he played a key role in securing significant investment and building strategic momentum in the early days of the AI-in-fintech movement.

He was also the founder of Oxygen Finance ("Oxygen"), a pioneering early payment platform focused on the public sector. David raised the initial £20 million and led the business through to its acquisition by Arrowgrass. Under his leadership, Oxygen secured major contracts and grew into a leading fintech with strong recurring revenues.

Over the past 20 years, David has launched and scaled multiple ventures across the fintech landscape, earning accolades including Fintech New Product of the Year 2023 and Microsoft Growth X Winner 2021.

David joins the IAB alongside Simon Retter and Richard Samuel to support the identification and evaluation of acquisition targets, with a focus on the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in financial services.

David Brown commented:

"I'm excited to join FPP at a time when AI is reshaping the fintech landscape. I've spent my career backing early innovation and building businesses that scale. The opportunity to acquire a standout fintech leveraging AI at its core is what drives me-and I look forward to making it happen with the FPP team."

The Company looks forward to David's impact as it advances toward securing a transformative acquisition.

𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?

There’s no shortage of 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 in our world:

* Stay 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 to stay focused

* Go 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 to scale with purpose

* Blend the two, and time it right

For some, it’s about 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹.

For others, capital 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.

And for a few — it’s about 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳.

Belief in what you're building.

Belief that the long-term matters more than the short-term.

Belief that mission-led businesses can thrive in either arena, if they’re clear on why they exist.

At 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺, we’ve had to make that decision ourselves.

And we’ll share our thinking when this next chapter is complete.

But for now, we want to 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

🗳️ 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰-𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁?

Build in 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲.

Go 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 with purpose.

𝗛𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 model time, it right.

💬 We’d love to hear your view.

Not as investors. Not as founders.

But as builders, thinkers, and people who care about how real change gets made.

Non-Executive Vice Chairman James Norwood Appointed to NATO NIAG Coalition of the Willing

James Norwood's appointment places Defence Holdings directly alongside senior executives from leading primes and disruptive technology companies in shaping NATO-aligned priorities. His inclusion reflects both his personal expertise and the growing recognition of Defence Holdings' role in contributing to the sovereign digital capability agenda.

The Coalition of the Willing convenes this morning at DSEI 2025, where James Norwood will participate in what is expected to be a full NATO welcoming committee to the exhibition, underscoring the visibility and strategic significance of his appointment.

Strategic Significance for Defence Holdings

Participation in the Coalition of the Willing provides Defence Holdings with:

Direct involvement in early-stage NATO tasking and studies, particularly in areas where emerging technologies and industrial cooperation are central.

Proximity to senior decision-makers from across NATO member industries, strengthening relationships at the highest levels of defence collaboration.

A platform to ensure the perspectives of a sovereign UK-listed technology company are embedded in NATO-industrial dialogue.

Commenting on his appointment, James Norwood, Non-Executive Vice Chairman of Defence Holdings PLC, said, "It is an honour to join the Coalition of the Willing. This group plays an important role in shaping research, tasking and industrial cooperation within NIAG. For Defence Holdings, it demonstrates our ability to operate alongside senior leaders from both primes and disruptors, and to ensure that sovereign, software-first perspectives are represented at the very heart of NATO's industrial dialogue."

Exactly!

Whitespace in general AI intelligence is ahead in:

• Sovereign, deployable AI for secure/defense environments

• Modular AI agents for mission-specific tasks

• Integration with government/defense frameworks

In other words, OpenAI is a consumer-facing generalist, Whitespace is a mission-critical specialist.

Anyone else think defence will merge fully with whitespace? And that’s what the £60m raise will be for next year? Seems so obvious now

Sharing facts

DYOR

Well well well

https://white.space/resources/a-reality-check-on-national-security-general-lord-nick-houghton-speaks-at-the-whitespace-investor-showcase

Looks like he was so impressed with whitespace, he’s making all this a reality! October 1st can’t come quick enough.

Among his proposals:

‍

- A National Security Strategy rooted in realism, not aspiration.

- Re-establishing a powerful National Armaments Director - one who can align priorities, galvanise investment, and bridge the civil/military divide.

- A Defence Industrial Strategy based on genuine partnership, moving beyond the outdated ‘winner-takes-all’ competition model.

- Proper investment in resilience and stockpiles, acknowledging that industrial capacity is part of warfare itself.

A whole-of-society approach to security, including greater civil awareness, education, and integration of private sector capability.

‍

But perhaps the boldest message was to investors in the room. Lord Houghton made a direct appeal to the financial community, urging them to see national security as not just a moral imperative but a legitimate and urgent investment domain.

‍

“I do not believe all of this is affordable without a partnership between public and private money. And I fundamentally believe it is not even worth attempting unless government is more honest with itself and with society.”

‍

He closed with a clear signal to the room: Investors, innovators, policymakers and defence leaders must come together in a new kind of national endeavour - one based on shared purpose, transparent risk, and long-term vision.

Conclusion: Hard Truths, Real Opportunity

In a room full of tech founders, venture capitalists, defence specialists and civil servants, Lord Houghton's message landed with weight. His keynote served as a reminder that security cannot be subcontracted, that strategy must be matched with means, and that in an age of complexity, collaboration is no longer optional - it’s essential.”

Probably NVIDIA / Google / Oracle named on the next TR1 RNS

we can dream 😂

Never seen them take up the entire page before!

Insane
