Government owned, contractor operated since 1993. The current consortium is Lockheed-Martin/Jacobs/Serco.

And I must take issue with the gross inaccuracies in the article. There are 1940s facilities still in use on both sites - Aldermaston was a MOS/USAAF airfield and Burghfield a shell-filling factory.
