What We Do

Your business is your livelihood and the security of the country may depend on how well we do your job.

We have a portfolio of tools and techniques. Some are proven standards. You may find similar ones elsewhere, but you won’t find them delivered with the same insight, energy and rigour.

So bespoke problems get bespoke solutions underpinned by the platform used reliably and creatively.

We bring experience, expertise, and direct support to realise strategic value for clients who have applicability in the defence and security sectors.

The BAR Team

We are each specialists in our fields. We’re not generalists masquerading as experts.

Because we are specialists, we are a company of diverse talents. Which means we look at challenges from a range of different perspectives and don’t propose a narrow range of possibilities that just happen to suit us.

We also think it makes us more interesting to work with.
