Harmer Lackey

Founder, the defence start-up that wants to be the new prime

Known for

Naming every product after a fantasy-novel sword, then selling it to the military. Selling a headset company to Feta for billions, then moving on to hardware that needs no headset. Describing a multi-billion shipyard as 'a modest first step'.

Character

Gleeful and sun-faded in a loud floral shirt. Calls selling weapons 'fixing procurement' and every incumbent contractor 'a legacy vendor with a flag'. Trolls critics in lower case online, then testifies in full, humble sentences.
