BMT Hi-Q Sigma (BMT), a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, has opened its new office in Micheldever, near Winchester. Local MP Steve Brine attended a short ceremony on Friday 17th May to unveil the new facility which will serve as a hub for the South East and allow BMT to have local presence for its customers in the Winchester, Basingstoke and the London area.
"Everyone here works so hard to make Winchester a solid place to do business and I know the City Council strain every sinew to attract new investment in the District which is essential for local jobs and wealth creation.@ BMT is very welcome and I look forward to working with their local team to help their business settle and prosper in the local area." commented Steve Brine, MP for Winchester & Chandler's Ford. The new office follows quickly on from two significant wins for BMT with the organisation becoming part of the UK Government Procurement Services' ConsultancyONE and G-Cloud Frameworks.
BMT also welcomes a new Managing Director who has ambitious growth plans for the business over the next five years. Previously Operations Director, Simon Gould has been with BMT since 2003. He is an experienced programme and risk management consultant playing an integral role in a number of major defence programmes, including the UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD) Submarine Enterprise Performance Programme (SEPP) and Submarine Dismantling Project (SDP).
Commenting on his new role Simon Gould said: "In the last three years we have doubled in size, reinforcing the strength of our skills and expertise working with industry partners and the UK's Ministry of Defence. This foundation has allowed us to expand our offering into wider government and securing both the ConsultancyONE and G-Cloud Framework is a big step towards demonstrating our ability to transfer our skills to new markets."
Simon continued: "Our aspirations to continue similar levels of growth over the next five years means that we will certainly be looking to attract and retain talent in the local area, ensuring that we continue to offer our customers the best possible knowledge and expertise in our core business areas which include programme management consultancy, systems engineering and investment analysis."
