Aerospace & Defense

Creating and accelerating critical advantages through cutting-edge strategy and operations

The aerospace and defense (A&D) industry is facing numerous challenges linked to an unforeseen pandemic, rapidly evolving technologies, and vulnerable supply chains. We help our clients push the boundaries in air and space and safeguard livelihoods through capabilities, technologies, and talent.

Our approach combines a deep understanding of industry dynamics with advanced analytics and an unparalleled network of experts. We work with clients to build internal capabilities, adopt digital and analytics tools, and transform work processes to improve their business in substantial, sustainable ways.

Marketing & Sales

Helping aerospace and defense (A&D) companies develop effective strategies for winning contracts with critical customers, contributing to stronger growth

Every contract bid presents unique challenges, and A&D companies must truly understand their customers’ priorities, preferences, and budgets to win. What’s more, they must keep pace with change and respond quickly to shifting customer requirements. Slow movers, or those that lack customer insights, may lose business to more nimble competitors.

Although future budget uncertainties persist, it is imperative for defense players to continue investing in growth pockets, especially as new technologies emerge and the speed of innovation accelerates. We assist clients with all aspects of the bid process, from business development to proposal to capture. Working in partnership with capture teams, we help design customer-focused solutions. Our insights allow companies to invest in the right research, create the best product offerings, and maximize their chance of winning bids.

What we do

Finding pockets of growth

We work with clients to identify the best investment opportunities, leveraging Radar, our proprietary analytics platform, and our global panel of senior advisors to pressure test potential growth areas. We combine our A&D knowledge with our expertise in strategy and corporate finance, including our leading-edge valuation techniques, to provide our clients with a comprehensive perspective on their investment opportunities and growth portfolio.

Capture Excellence

We help companies redesign the overall bid process with the goal of reducing both costs and timelines. Our expertise includes pricing to win, developing competitive intelligence, and providing proposal support.

Design-to-value

As clients develop products, we help them conduct design-to-value analyses that consider both the costs and benefits of different features. By removing any attributes that customers do not value, A&D companies can lower production costs. That decrease will translate into lower product prices, which could increase the likelihood of winning bids.

Business and general aviation

We help companies in the business and general aviation market strive for operational improvement. We also provide assistance on key business challenges, such as accessing new customer segments, innovating business models, transforming product development, and improving customer support services.

Counselling for small businesses

How therapy can help

Running a small business can be rewarding and fulfilling but also stressful, demanding and overwhelming. Talking to a counsellor can have real benefits for you and your employees’ mental health and wellbeing.

According to our recent survey of small business owners, 96% say they keep the stress of running a business bottled up.

We also found that more than two thirds feel like they have nobody to talk to about their problems. 63% admit to deprioritising their mental health in the name of success. And 56% feel like they need help with their mental health but don’t know where to start.

Talking to a counsellor can be a really positive step.

What is counselling?

You don’t have to be in crisis to seek counselling. Counselling offers you a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space to talk to a skilled professional about your issues and concerns.

A counsellor will help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours so you can develop a better understanding of yourself and others. They'll help you find your own solutions – whether that’s making changes in your life or finding ways of coping with problems.

How can counselling help?

Counselling can help you with deal with depression and anxiety, cope with stress and manage harmful emotions and behaviours. It can help you with issues related to running your own business or that affect your personal life.

It can also help reduce the psychological impact of difficult work situations on employees and support them to work effectively and productively.

How do you find someone to talk to?

You can ask to see a counsellor through your GP or the NHS, or through charities and third sector services. Or you can pay to see a private counsellor. This offers you a wider choice and you may be able to see someone quicker, perhaps for longer.

Businesses can bring in private counsellors or employee assistance programmes (EAPs) to offer professional mental health support to your employees. Many EAPs are themselves small businesses and offer pricing structures to suit most budgets.

Operating a small business can be a hugely rewarding experience, and small business owners play a pivotal role in the UK economy. The challenge is that many people are extremely passionate about their trade, but do not start their business with a high level of existing knowledge and skills to confidently manage their business finances.

Drawing on our expertise from Business Debtline, and our experience as a training provider, we want to build the financial resilience of small business owners across the UK, and help support more businesses to thrive.

The Building Up Business programme aims to do just that. Through our research, recommendations, and free virtual learning offer, we are sharing new insight and resources to help close the business finance skills gap.

Key findings from the research

Our findings show that there is a clear business finance skills gap:

2 in 5 Business Debtline clients do not feel confident navigating their business finances

Only 1 in 10 Business Debtline clients said they had used any of the government-funded business support helplines

Just 2 in 5 micro-traders agree there is good business support available for small business owners

Our research has revealed that there is a significant group of small business owners, running smaller businesses often on their own or with just one or two employees (micro-businesses), who feel under-served by the current business finance skills offering. Many don’t know where to turn, and struggle to find the support they need.

Our recommendations

There is an urgent need to deliver business finance skills support that is relevant to the size and types of businesses people are running, that aligns with their aims and ambitions, and that is rooted in the experiences of other small business owners like them. We therefore recommend that:

The Department for Business and Trade should use the Small Business Strategy to work with the small business sector to develop innovative approaches to delivering tailored, one-to-one finance skills support to micro-business owners.

HMRC should continue to invest in tools to help small business owners understand and manage their tax obligations, evaluating and sharing the impact of changes to business guidance.

Financial services firms, business energy providers and other creditors should review customer journeys and maximise opportunities to signpost to Business Debtline and the Building Up Business free virtual learning.
