Britains leading independent aerospace and defence company, which is more than a century old, tells the Mails Ben Griffiths how it is now facing one of its toughest battles yet.
A stone's throw from world-renowned Cambridge University and based in an art deco headquarters building that reflects its heritage, Britains leading independent aerospace and defence company is quietly going about its business.
Despite being well known in the industry, Marshall has never been one to bang its own drum publicly. But that is slowly changing as the company looks to secure its future in a climate of declining defence budgets.
Loyal workforce: Some go on to notch up 40 or even 50-year careers, leading to Marshall being likened to one of Britain's closest examples of a German-style 'Mittelstand'
The story of Marshall of Cambridge dates back to 1909 when it was founded as a chauffeur-drive firm by David Marshall, who joined the kitchen staff at Trinity College aged just 14 before setting up a small garage.
Today Marshall remains one of the countrys biggest independent motor dealers. But its expansion into aviation and engineering is what put it on the map.
The company started teaching people to fly in 1929 after Arthur Marshall, son of David, got his wings in 1927 and joined his father in the family business, having gained an engineering degree at the nearby university. He bought a Gipsy Moth on a whim and it was spotted in a field by pioneering aviator Sir Alan Cobham, who happened to be flying overhead.

Aerospace firm Marshall remains not for sale despite declining defence budgets
LMI Aerospace Inc. announced Wednesday that Ronald Saks will retire after three decades as chief executive and that an outsider, Dan Korte, would take the helm.
The news spurred Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner to speculate that the retirement could clear the way for a takeover of LMI, which sent shares of the St. Charles-based aerospace company up nearly 4 percent.
In a research note, Reiner put the possible takeover price at $20 per share. LMI shares closed at $14.98, up 54 cents for a 3.7 percent gain. It had traded up as high as $15.44 in the late morning.
In response, LMI legal director Renee Skonier said, Currently there are no plans for the sale of the business.
Dan Korte, 53, former president of Defense Aerospace at Rolls-Royce, will become president and CEO of LMI on March 18, the company said. Korte also served as vice president and general manager at Boeing Strike Systems in St. Louis. He began his career in St. Louis as an engineer at McDonnell Douglas in 1985 in St. Louis, and rose through the ranks. Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas in 1997.
Saks, 70, has run LMI since 1984, taking it from $5 million to more than $400 million in revenue. He will remain as a nonexecutive chairman.
A central pillar of the bull thesis on (LMI) is that it should eventually be bought out, Reiner wrote in his research note. The departure of Saks, whose connection to (LMI) is deeply personal as well as professional, makes the scenario appear more likely.
Saks owns 10 percent of LMIs shares, Reiner noted.
LMI has suffered from shrinking profit margins and has missed earnings forecasts, he said, adding that several acquisitions didnt go as planned.
Valent, the most recent of these deals, has saddled (LMI) with almost $300M of net debt, Reiner wrote.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Feb. 26, 2014) As Kaman Aerospace Group enters Heli-Expo 2014 the company is significantly expanding its reach, capabilities and position as an award-winning supplier for leading aerospace Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
The companys restructured Aerosystems Group, led by President Jim Larwood, has fueled much of Kamans rotorcraft market growth through new and ongoing agreements with Bell Helicopter, Sikorsky Aircraft, MD Helicopters, and others. Visit Kaman during Heli-Expo at Exhibit 4922. Throughout the convention, Kaman will spotlight a new video program entitled, Integrated Engineering for Flight-Critical Structures. Weve set the stage for another successful year, said Larwood. From door assemblies and fixed wing structures to fuselage structures and control surfaces, Kaman Aerosystems offers seamless one-point supply for faster, more efficient development-to-delivery of flight-critical structures.
The Kaman Engineering Services subsidiary has opened new offices at Clemson University in Charleston, S.C., to meet growing requirements for engineering skills and talent. Kaman engineers are also located at Boeings North Charleston production facility, performing stress analysis work in support of 787 Dreamliner manufacturing. During 2012, Kaman Engineering Services was named a Boeing Supplier of the Year.
In addition, two new Kaman facilities are slated to open in the first quarter of 2014, including a Kaman Specialty Bearings and Engineered Products facility in Hochstadt, Germany, and a new state-of-the-arttooling facility in Lancashire, England.
Ongoing successes include:

Adjusted pretax profits rose 17pc last year to 578m on sales up 10pc to 7.6bn, with aerospace turning in a record year. Its profits rose 56pc to 266m on sales 26pc higher at 2.24bn. The main factor was a full year from Volvo Aero, the Swedish maker of parts for aircraft engine turbines that GKN bought for 633m in July 2012. Organic profits growth was 9pc.
Despite Airbus and Boeing delivering a record 1,274 aircraft last year, GKN is flagging modest sales growth in aerospace in 2014, partly due to the programmes it's on.
It has a far stronger presence with Airbus than Boeing, with the A350 promising plenty of growth. But the production rampup for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner should also see GKN sales for that aircraft rise from 200m to 300m this year.
Stein is well aware of one gap in the portfolio no presence on Boeing's popular 777 model. So, partly with a view to getting closer to the US aircraft maker, GKN is sizing up Spirit AeroSystems' plant in Tulsa, US, which was spun out of Boeing and produces wing components for the 737, 777 and 787.
The one concern is GKN's exposure to military aircraft, where sales are likely to fall again this year due to defence spending cuts though such planes now account for only 27pc of aerospace sales.
As for cars, the driveline arm's 7pc organic sales growth to 3.42bn outstripped the 4pc growth last year in global production volumes to 84.8m vehicles. Strong demand from China and North America kept GKN rolling and a looming 60m investment in US production highlights confidence there.
GKN's prowess in making complex components from metal powders a division in which underlying profits rose 7pc to 94m brings technical innovation and higher margins, up another 0.1 of a point to 10.1pc last year. The only real disappointment was GKN's land systems arm, where organic trading profits fell 16pc to 75m, hit by weaker construction activity. But nobody invests in GKN for that division.
Despite some headwinds from the stronger pound, Numis is forecasting 605m profits this year for a forward multiple of 14 times, yielding 2.1pc.
That looks an unjustified discount to IMI, Weir, Smiths and Melrose given the growth prospects. Buy.

Newswise MAYWOOD, Ill. A new blood test can detect heart attacks hours faster than the current gold-standard blood test, according to a study led by Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine researchers.
The new test measures a protein that is released to the bloodstream by dying heart muscle. The protein is called cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C). The study found that cMyBP-C is released to the blood within just 15 minutes of cardiac damage, and rises to significant levels in three hours.
This is a potential ultra-early biomarker that could confirm whether a patient has had a heart attack, leading to faster and more effective treatment, said Sakthivel Sadayappan, PhD, senior author of the study, published in the American Journal of Physiology Heart and Circulatory Physiology.
Between 60 and 70 percent of all patients who complain of chest pain do not have heart attacks. Many of these patients are admitted to the hospital, at considerable time and expense, until a heart attack is definitively ruled out.
An electrocardiogram can diagnose major heart attacks, but not minor ones. There also are blood tests for various proteins associated with heart attacks. But most of these proteins are not specific to the heart. Elevated levels could indicate a problem other than a heart attack, such as a muscle injury.
The only protein now used in blood tests that is specific to the heart is called cardiac troponin-I. Its the gold standard for detecting heart attacks. But it takes at least four to six hours for this protein to show up in the blood following a heart attack. So the search is on for another heart attack protein that is specific to the heart.
Like troponin-I , cMyBP-C is a protein specific to the heart. But it is more readily detected because of its large molecular size and relatively high concentration in the blood. During a heart attack, a coronary artery is blocked, and heart muscle cells begin to die due to lack of blood flow and oxygen. As heart cells die, cMyBP-C breaks into fragments and is released into the blood.
Sadayappan and colleagues found that cMyBP-C levels in a group of 176 heart attack patients were more than 18 times higher than cMyBP-C levels in a control group of 153 patients who did not have heart attacks. In a separate analysis of 12 cardiac patients who underwent a procedure that mimicked a minor heart attack, researchers found that cMyBP-C levels peaked four hours after the procedure. Researchers found similar results in a porcine model of heart attack.

New Rochelle, NY, February 25, 2014Repeated concussions and mild brain trauma can result in reduced levels of growth hormone, gonadotropin, and testosterone, causing disorders such as metabolic syndrome and erectile dysfunction and overall poor quality of life. The results of a new study of retired professional football players that compares number of concussions sustained during their careers and health problems associated with hormonal deficiency is published in Journal of Neurotrauma, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Journal of Neurotrauma website at http://www.liebertpub.com/neu.
In the article "Prevalence of pituitary hormone dysfunction, metabolic syndrome and impaired quality of life in retired professional football players: a prospective study," the authors report that more than 50% of the retired players evaluated for growth hormone deficiency, hypogonadism, and quality of life had suffered at least three concussions during their careers in the National Football League. Repeat concussion is common in the NFL.
John T. Povlishock, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Neurotrauma and Professor, Medical College of Virginia Campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, notes that "although as emphasized by the authors, this study awaits further confirmation with expanded sample sizes and a more critical linkage to a history of concussion intensity and intervals between the concussive injuries, the findings are of considerable interest. Importantly, this study moves us away from the singular focus that repetitive concussive brain injuries ultimately lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy to the premise that such injuries can elicit pituitary dysfunction and metabolic syndrome that may be significant contributors to a poor quality of life in a subset of professional athletes."
