Craig Lockhart – formally BAE Systems Australia’s Managing Director Maritime – will replace Ben Hudson as the Chief Executive of BAE Systems Australia.

“Craig has played a critical role in helping us achieve a market-leading position in Australia, since joining the business in 2019 and we’re confident that he’s the right person to lead our business and our people in Australia in meeting our ambitious objectives for the future,” a BAE Spokesperson told ADM.

“Ben Hudson has departed the business. We thank Ben for his contribution to our Australia business over the past three years and we wish him well in his future endeavours.”
