Aerospace suppliers offered places on Sharing in Growth programme

12 of Sharing in Growth’s current participants exhibited at DSEI last week, the UK defence and military show. By working with SiG to transform their businesses, these programme participants between them secured more than £350 million in contracts.

SiG’s 100 business coaches, backed by a bank of world-leading experts, help companies tackle their individually diagnosed barriers to growth and, for many, double their turnover.

Participants in the SiG programme have secured more than £4 billion in contracts over the last five years by improving their leadership, culture and operational capability.

An independent, not-for-profit programme, it is supported by the Regional Growth Fund and by more than £150 million in private investment. Over 60 companies with some 10,000 employees have benefitted from the Sharing in Growth programme across the UK.

Now, as some of its earliest participants ‘graduate’ from the programme, new places have become available to ambitious companies who need SiG’s expertise.

Endorsed by Airbus, BAE Systems, Boeing, Bombardier, GE, GKN, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, MBDA, Rolls-Royce, Safran and Thales, the SiG programme provides funded support with a value up to £300k per year for three years.

To qualify for the programme, companies need to be aerospace suppliers, have genuine ambition to grow and be able to release their teams for on-site coaching, training and mentoring.

SiG CEO Andy Page commented: “Our programme is effective because it has the unique scope and scale, commensurate with the challenge of helping programme participants to win a larger share of the global aerospace market.

“We provide funded, bespoke, independent training, coaching and mentoring to improve companies’ management and operational capability so that they win business which they can then invest further in their skills and infrastructure to win even more business.”
