EADS

"With 17,000 UK employees, EADS has established itself as a leading player in the global aerospace and defence market. The success stories of Airbus, Ariane and Eurocopter show what we can achieve and our products have earned us international acclaim. In recent times we have also had considerable success in other sectors having recently been awarded the UK government contract for consolidation of fire control centres, FireControl.

"The nature of our business means we are always taking on big, complex government and private sector programmes with challenging timeframes and demanding clients. With such large investments at stake, we need to make sure that we have the skills and experience on hand to safeguard the delivery.

"We engaged Oak Management Services to supplement our team with experienced project and bid managers and to take advantage of their broad industry experience. Over the last two years, they have helped us deliver a number of major government bids and are now playing a vital role in our FireControl delivery project. Key to this has been their ability to engage the various stakeholders, to manage the customer’s expectations, to focus the team on delivery and to drive value from supplier relationships. In addition, Oak has been central to the development of our best practice Programme Support Office that is being rolled out across key projects.

"It’s worked really well. They’ve been responsive when we have an urgent need and we know we can rely on them to provide high calibre consultants with the experience, skill, and professionalism to really make a difference. Even so, they remain competitive in their market and when you balance their achievements against their fees, the value they add is excellent."
