Before

Tekmar Group, initially established as a small business driven by entrepreneurial spirit, had experienced rapid growth. However, this expansion highlighted gaps in their internal systems, processes, and governance structures. With much of the company’s knowledge residing informally within its workforce and leadership, Tekmar faced challenges in documenting and standardising their operational practices. Recognising the need to build a more structured foundation for sustainable growth, the company sought support through the SIG programme. Their aim was to formalise their governance processes, capture institutional knowledge, and position themselves for continued success in a competitive global market.

What they say

“

During the course of our involvement in the SIG programme, the company has experienced significant growth and are currently exporting around 80% of the business while also supporting a number of high-profile UK-based projects. Much of this success comes down to the work we have done through the programme. It has had a real impact on our business.
