We help overseas manufacturers grow aerospace and defence sales across Europe. Whether you are entering the European market for the first time or already established, we open conversations with OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers and represent you in them.

Why European Expansion is Hard Without Local Presence

Complex, relationship-driven supply chains

European aerospace buyers prefer suppliers represented by people they know and trust.

Built on credibility and trust

European OEM and Tier-1 programmes are qualification-led and relationship-driven. The relationships and contracts they produce tend to be durable.

High cost of setting up locally

Building an in-house European BD team requires significant investment per person, with recruitment risk and no guarantee of success.

Opportunities slip without local presence

Without someone on the ground in European time zones, momentum stalls and relationships struggle to take hold.

Driving opportunities forward

We keep momentum by arranging meetings, acting as your liaison through the RFQ process, and following up consistently.

A cost-effective alternative to hiring a full European BD team. We provide the expertise, contacts and persistence needed to compete for business with European OEMs and Tier-1s, whether you are entering Europe for the first time or building on existing sales.

No competing products

We never represent competing products or services. One client per discipline, so your interests are always protected.

Complementary strengths

We often represent companies whose products complement each other, which means shared contacts and faster access to the right people.

Long-term relationships

Most of our principals have been with us for over five years, several for more than a decade. We build lasting partnerships, not short-term arrangements.
