making a real difference to uk defence
Who do we work with? Project One is proud to have built a fantastic track record helping some of the world’s largest defence industry businesses. We continue to support delivery across the Defence Enterprise - supporting the delivery of international portfolios of critical change and transformation. The combination of our industry experience and our complex change leadership capability makes Project One an ideal SME partner to support our defence customers make the most of this massive investment. Our customer list is a who’s who of the defence industry, our work has spanned some of their most pressing issues, including Digital Supply Chains, Complex Technology Systems, Cyber Security, Export Control, HR Systems, Manufacturing Systems, Finance Systems and Procurement Systems. Over half of our Consulting and Leadership Team have worked in this sector on well over 150 engagements in the UK and abroad, and we are committed to continue building on these relationships.
Climate change and sustainability There is a fast-growing pressure in the UK to reduce the carbon footprint of the MoD and its supply chain. We are well positioned to support our defence customers with their NZC portfolio, having formally committed to the UN Race to Zero campaign and signed up to the UK Government sponsored SME Climate Hub. We’ve been awarded a bronze medal in recognition of our overall sustainability achievement by Ecovardis for two consecutive years, and we are working towards our goal of halving our carbon emissions by 2030 and becoming Net Zero Carbon by 2050 or sooner. Cyber When it comes to cyber security, defence businesses need to have continuous and rapid change baked into their operating model, encompassing security and assurance policies, procedures, responsibilities and governance. With the increasing number and sophistication of both threats, and of cyber standards, agility is critical, and not something that always comes naturally in the industry. Project One has experience in leading comprehensive assessments of levels of compliance, standing up remediation programmes to increase maturity and establishing target operating models to drive towards best-in-class cyber defence.
People Focus “Workforce: our finest asset” - diversity and inclusion, family matters and benefits including childcare and accommodation, a focus on career management and development, pay and reward. Project One credentials transcend the manufacturing complexities of defence sector change and we can bring our expertise in areas such as real-estate change and HR and personnel transformation to bear. The environment is changing and new pressures are facing the sector that may not have appeared in the defence change portfolios of old. Project One can provide specific advice and skills that will ensure both the solution and the way it is delivered hits the spot.
The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has c.66,000 civilian and c.200,000 military personnel. These are supplemented with capability and capacity of many thousands of staff from suppliers. All together this breadth of skills and depth of experience makes up the UK’s Defence Enterprise. The UK’s Defence Enterprise focuses on driving world-class delivery, including the government’s c.50 key defence projects. These 50 make up a 5th of the portfolio of change on the Cabinet Office’s Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) - key projects that promote national security and underpin the way we freely live our lives in the UK. At Project One we are immensely proud of our contribution to driving world-class delivery across Land, Sea, Air and Shared Services. In 2024 we placed 6th in the UK for Defence as a category in the recent Financial Times Leading Management Consultants report - truly outstanding for an SME business. Project One really is a very special business – a Small Medium Enterprise that works across defence to make a real difference.
