This name change is part of a wider repositioning of TP Group and its sister consultancies under a single R&D consultancy brand: Sagentia. The rebrand marks a strategic integration of more than 300 consultants whose experience spans defence, aviation, medical, consumer, food and beverage, energy and industrial markets. Uniting this wide range of regulatory and technological expertise facilitates cross-market fertilisation and accelerates innovation.

Tom Rasmussen, Managing Director at Sagentia Defence, says the development represents an expansion of capabilities, which will unlock additional benefits for clients: “As the sector navigates the technological complexities of future military threats, it’s important to harness skills and insights from beyond the traditional realms of defence. Joining forces with our sister consultancies takes our offering to an entirely new level.

Sagentia Defence provides consultancy expertise into the five UK Ministry of Defence domains of land, sea, air, space, and digital. As a trusted partner Sagentia Defence delivers integrated science, technology, and engineering solutions to support UK defence in overcoming critical challenges.
