Aspire Defence Ltd sits at the heart of Project Allenby/Connaught. As a Private Finance Initiative funds were raised to complete the construction phase of the Project through a combination of bond funding and equity. The equity is provided by four shareholders Carillion, KBR, Innisfree and HSBC. This money is used to meet the Project's aim of making life better for soldiers across the four garrisons it serves. Aspire Defence Ltd holds a 35 year contract with the MoD to complete a construction programme involving some 500 new or refurbished buildings and the delivery of a broad range of services across the garrisons from construction to catering, stores management, transport, building maintenance, grounds maintenance and cleaning – to name a few.  In order to do this it places the construction work with Aspire Defence Capital Works and the service delivery with Aspire Defence Services Limited.
