Since then, we have established an excellent reputation for delivery, both directly to clients and as a sub-contractor on a broad range of tasks. The company covers the spectrum of Ordnance, Munitions and Explosives activities, from acquisition support through to demilitarisation. A fundamental understanding of explosive ordnance (EO), plus project management and leadership experience, enables a wide contribution in all aspects of defence, security and countering the EO threat, whether in the form of improvised explosive devices or conventional munitions.

International clients have included NATO, the NATO Supply and Procurement Agency, UN Development Programme, UN Mine Action Service, Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining Ammunition Management Advisory Team, whilst in UK we have worked with project teams in Defence Equipment & Support, Dstl and a number of private sector clients.
