Boeing has appointed the Rt Hon Sir Jeremy Quin as president of Boeing UK & Ireland, based in London and taking up the role on Nov. 21, 2025. Thom Breckenridge was named managing director of Boeing Defence UK; Quin’s ministerial tenure overlapped the MoD’s cut of the Wedgetail order from five to three aircraft.

Briefing
Leadership change places a former UK defence procurement minister at the head of Boeing’s UK & Ireland business, effective Nov. 21, 2025, while installing a new head for Boeing Defence UK.
Quin’s time as procurement minister overlapped the MoD decision to reduce the Wedgetail order from five aircraft to three, a factual connection that will draw scrutiny in defence procurement and industry-government relations.
The appointments happen as Boeing pursues UK defence programmes and industrial partnerships, including ongoing efforts around advanced trainer bids and partnerships with Saab and BAE on the T-7 Red Hawk (see Boeing’s UK bid activity: https://hype.aero/?story=28399582-39f2-4114-aacc-28c11d0a479e).
