The Brigadier speaking on PM briefing,

We are used to complexity and building supply chains at speed. Our mission is to support the NHS. Get vaccine anywhere in England. Using agility to deliver vaccine as quickly as possible from supply. Getting vaccine in peoples arms, not storing it on shelves. Our aim is to deliver operational excellence on the ground with command and control.
