The UK’s defence spending is being scrutinised more than ever given the tremendous strain that our armed forces are under at the moment. Our approach to assisting the defence contractors to maximise their value for money has been to work closely with them in difficult sites and working environments to pinpoint where our services can bring maximum benefit to them. At an early stage in discussions it became apparent that they needed a high level of input and advice on a regular basis and thus we seconded a senior member of staff to them to support their extensive construction works on a daily basis.
