The CEO, Brian Moon, was not available (on holiday until the end of August), but another manager received the letter in his place. He argued that the company has very little real involvement with the arms industry; however products such as the aptly-named "ARMS" (a missile-scoring system) suggest that this is not the whole story.

A banner was also displayed outside the building (in Cambridge Science Park), and flyers were distributed to employees and passers-by containing the text of the letter and explaining the issue.
